Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the quality, relevance, benefits, and teacher preparedness of a student advisory that was implemented in a high school to improve student connectedness to the school. Students' and staff perceptions and ideas were collected and analyzed for the purpose of understanding whether the advisory was meeting its stated goals and for the purpose of providing guidance for the next phases of the advisory. One year of extant student and staff surveys were collected and a focus group with staff were held to elicit their thoughts, perceptions, and ideas of the advisory program and whether the advisory achieved its short-range outcomes of increasing student connectivity to the school. The results indicated students want a more engaging and purposeful advisory with relevant lessons that provide them the opportunity to meet other grade-level students in the school. Teachers provided similar feedback regarding the mixed grade levels and relevance, however, teacher respondents also shared more positive insights for the advisory program, compared to students, indicating it was on a purposeful trajectory.
