IFSEL brings a wide and creative lens to view Advisory meeting times. The course explores principles for a thriving advisory program, specifically focusing on the role of the advisor, building advisee buy-In, and ‘low-prep, high-impact' practices to bring advising to life.

"Our Middle division program has grown exponentially over the time we've collaborated. To witness the activity at the faculty meeting where our faculty responded to your statements along the continuum, strongly indicated, in the most graphic ways, the degree to which they have positively responded to our work together. Clearly the majority of our faculty feel overwhelmingly more confident and positive in their advisory role and in the classroom."

This program is experiential, inspiring, and renewing - providing a balance of high impact practical tools and approaches, alongside space for collaboration and reflection.
As a cohort, members of the SEL Leadership Program will work closely for seven months to support each other, share ideas, and offer a critical space for problem solving and planning.
If I have done an IFSEL online training, will I get something out of an in-person workshop?
