I NEED BLOCK / ADVISORY IDEAS by Alex Maduena https://padlet.com/amaduena/zv9kczk00url What should we do to best support all of our students, including the most vulnerable students, in Advisory and I Need blocks? en-us 2016-11-16 19:15:02 UTC 2017-05-17 05:51:36 UTC hello@padlet.com Prompts amaduena https://padlet.com/amaduena/zv9kczk00url/wish/138223056
  • What should be do to best support all of our students, including the most vulnerable students, in Advisory and I Need blocks? 
  • We are open to anything (re-rostering...buying new curriculum...breaking up classes into smaller spaces, etc.)
  • Think about advisory curriculum--what could be moved? What should stay in Advisory? What could be introduced?

For instance, a relationships class where students read articles and write about relationships. OR a class about astronomy. Or students can do coursera or khan academy to explore their own interests.
