Meet Me in the Middle: Chapter 12

Advisory groups are definitely beneficial in all school settings. These small groups allow all students to know each other, be a part of a team and get to know a faculty member in a less intimidating way. I remember my adviser from middle school as someone who was genuinely interested in my scholastic and personal well being and that support helped me through some of my rougher days. Over the course of the two years I spent in the 7th and 8th grades, I had the opportunity to know some of my peers who I would otherwise never have talked to. I like this model and I am eager to participate in one once I am out in the real world.
