Re: Advisory Help

[Marsha Pfingsten <mpfingst@SERVICES.DESE.STATE.MO.US>]

Gail,
        Twenty years ago, my high school, McCluer North in Florissant, Mo.
pioneered the "advisory concept" with a grant from the Kettering Foundation.
I can send you materials and names of contacts if you  give  me an address.
 We have, over the years experimented with various formats, time schedules,
activities and advisory programs.  Advisory works.  Its great for the kids
and makes the faculty stronger and very effective.  Parents love it.  None
of the kids fall through the proverbial cracks.
