Final Thoughts…
Mission Possible: Graduation and Beyond
Have an advisement philosophy and framework in place Network with other counselors and create collaboratively
written lessons Utilize common drive (Counselors’ Drive) or Google
Docs site to save resources, guides, lessons, etc. Utilize school websites to publish information about
BRIDGE Advisement and provide links to Power Points, overall information, HS 101, MS 101, etc.
Final Thoughts Continued Hold planning and debriefing meetings for each
advisement project with ample discussion and time to change project
Set calendar in June for next school year (include all BRIDGE Advisement projects)
Know that the BRIDGE Advisement Checklist is only part of the work to be accomplished with students (foundation is laid in elementary school for students)
