Making Homeroom A Home

Description:

Middle school students are notoriously cliquey. But what if we could use that developmental quirk for good? And what is the purpose of advisory anyway? Join veteran teachers who have wrangled hundreds of students and have years of experience turning groups of individual students into one group of classmates. Learn how to turn your advisory, homeroom, or classroom into a collaborative community. Be ready to think, walk away with practical ideas and laugh. After all, it's middle school!
