I am no longer teaching in the classroom. I am worried about the potential loss of art and art history. I went back to school when I was 70 to learn web design so that I could start a course in art history. ahaafoundation.org is the website with Meet Katherine.
Would anyone like to talk with me about the project and/or getting their students involved? Katherine Bolman is my Skype name.

Shriley - I have not seen that round these parts - you should embed the video above in the discussion forum so we can share it in the WIR (things get lost on the comment wall)!

It's possible this free online video (Bring Your Game) appears elsewhere on MCP. I've used it in my high school advisory. Every single one of my male students (at an alternative high school) were immediately and continually engaged. Most of my female students were, too. Hope it's of use to others, too.

Hi Nina - thank you for starting this group! There is certainly an interest in the topic! I'm writing to be an annoying MC POP traffic cop :( Things on the comment wall tend to get lost/buried over time. I aksed Kyle to put his question up top so that I can have a URL for the question. From there I will broadcast it to the whole Ning on Tuesday. That said, would you mind copying and pasting your comment into his discussion above so other folks can read your wonderful ideas in a specific location? Thanks, Ry:)

Cool. Will you have a multi- grade Advisory, or just one grade? Also, how long are the Advisory periods? One thing I would suggest is front loading with lots of community building activities. The dynamic might be that they have already been in an Advisory together, but you are the new factor- or everyone is new to each other. Also, you might already do this, but it is a good idea to work with your Advisory to make agreements about how you all want to work and be with each other for the year (listen openly to others' ideas, etc). let me know if you would like me to point you to some books that could be helpful in terms of these kinds of activities.

My advisory is for a high school focused on environmental sustainability, which I will also be incorporating into my US history class. I don't know about the specific curriculum, I believe they are revising it for the fall. Hoping to get some ideas to take back to the school in the fall.

Shirley- I see you are based in Minneapolis! That's where I spent my first 5 years as a teacher (2 elementary schools - one in N and one in S Mpls).

Advisory is a real passion of mine- I taught at a HS in Bushwick, Brooklyn for 8 years where I was an Advisor and the school's Advisory coach. I then left the classroom to start my own consulting business, of which a lot of work is Advisory related (coaching principals on the structure of Advisory, curriculum development, staff training, helping schools with struggling Advisory programs, etc). Am excited to learn more about what you guys are doing and talk shop!

Hey Kyle - if you post your question above in the discussion forum (a la a Crowdsource Question) I can broadcast it to the Ning next Tuesday - plus it will bring people to this great new group!

Hey J K- Will you be working at a Middle School or High School? Do you know much about the school's Advisory program (frequency, established curriculum- if any, themes)? I'd love to brainstorm with you and share some resources.
Nina
