ADVISORY PROGRAM

Entering ninth graders are assigned to a teacher who will serve as their academic advisor throughout their four years of high school. 

Purpose of Advisory:

• Connects students with school activities, clubs, and events and the greater NYC community

• Monitors student academic progress

• Provides internship and scholarship opportunities

• The advisory teacher serves as a guide and as an advocate for the student during their time at Leadership

​

Advisory is held Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons. Each day serves a different purpose.

• Monday = Circle Days- purpose is to help students develop social/emotional literacy through structured restorative circles.  The curriculum is adapted from the "Be the Change Guide" published by Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility.

• Tuesday = Current Events Day - Students read articles from DOE approved newspapers and sources to discuss current issues and how these issues relate to them.

• Thursday = Content Focus Days - each grade level explores and discusses their own topic

  • 9th grade- Health and Wellness

  • 10th grade- Psychology and PSAT/SAT Prep

  • 11th grade- Sociology/Community Studies and PSAT/SAT Prep

  • 12th grade- College and Career Readiness 

Each grade level's advisory class is structured around a topic of focus. The topic for each grade level is meant to aid students through their development learning and to prepare students to apply for colleges and jobs/internships.
