The National Honor Society NHS sponsors a peer tutoring program to meet the needs of all students who would like additional academic assistance in any discipline. All tutoring takes place before school from — or after school from — in Ms.
Students are required to sign in and sign out each time that tutoring takes place. Students are expected to be present for all tutoring sessions as the student who provides the tutoring receives service credit for their effort. Tutors are either members of NHS or other students who excel in any given discipline and wish to be of service to others. If your student is having difficulty in a course, it is always best to seek help as soon as possible to enable the student to recover and to increase their grade before the end of the quarter.
It is always recommended to see the current teacher for help prior to requesting a peer tutor. If a student is failing a course, they are required to visit that teacher during flex-time until their grade is above passing.
Our academic enhancement programs are designed to prepare our students for the rigors of the upcoming school year. The English Program is set up to offer guidance with the required summer reading. Two sessions are offered: one 3-week session for each book. Almost every college student is connected with an academic advisor familiar with their field of study who advises them on a variety of academic issues including course selection. Advisement at the high school and college level are built on the same foundationthe relationship between advisor and student.
At the collegiate level academic advisors help students make the most of their college experiences, including advice on how to choose courses to best serve their career interests. Some college students only know their advisor as the person who lifts an enrollment hold twice each year.
Other students meet more often with their advisors who fill a crucial mentorship role; in these cases, collegiate advisors talk with students about a variety of academic issues. High school advisory programs include regularly scheduled meetings so the advisor and students get to know each other well.
The high school advisor can become the trusted adult students turn to for support beyond the classroom. In essence, high school advisory lowers the non-academic barriers to learning, supports students through challenges, and directs students to the resources and relationships they need to succeed. Advisory distinctly layers supports for students. The intrinsic motivation and social skills built in high school Advisory programs engage students and help to form a foundation of social, emotional, and study skills needed for students to succeed in college.
Advisors can make a meaningful difference too. By an advisor getting to know a student and her family well sometimes over the course of four years , the advisor can help guide the student through the college application process. For example, a 12th grade advisory group can provide the setting needed for students to learn about post-secondary options, discuss the application process, edit application essays, and receive regular reminders as they meet college application deadlines.
Support in navigating the college application process is particularly important for students who are the first in their family to attend college. In schools where guidance counselors are overburdened and personalized attention is not always the norm, advisors play a critical role in answering questions, writing recommendation letters, and ensuring that students are on track to graduate.
Advisory can take many forms. At the Colorado Springs Early College High School, students are being grouped by career cluster in accordance with their professional interests as determined by a career inventory. College professors team up with high school advisors to add a depth of career experience neither could provide alone. In this model, college professors play a critical role in making the curriculum relevant as they engage students in the career exploration process.
The MET Schools, a network of unique charter schools, take advisory to a whole new level. In fact, these schools have nothing but advisory! Students meet in a same group all day, all year long, as the advisor guides them through a self-paced and self-directed course of academic study.
