Upskill, Unpack,
& Amplify

Are you new to the role of middle- or high-school Advisor, or eager to refine and re-energize your approach?

This experiential two-day workshop is designed to upskill your practice and amplify your impact. Together, we’ll unpack the role of the advisor, tackle common challenges, and build a toolkit that promotes student belonging, connection, and success.

The Art & Science
of an SEL-Rooted Program

This orientation blends the science of evidence-based practices with the art of showing up authentically, and responding to student needs. By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with actionable tools, a fresh perspective, and the confidence to lead with compassion and purpose.

Workshop Goals

Through a dynamic mix of activities, reflection, and hands-on application, we’ll explore four key topics:

  • Building Psychological Safety in Groups
    Experience strategies and activities designed to foster trust, connection, and belonging within Advisory Groups.
  • Facilitating High-Impact, Low-Prep SEL Experiences
    Participate in experiential SEL that engage both the intra- and interpersonal, and gain access to IFSEL’s Lesson Library for ongoing inspiration.
  • Balancing Planning and Responsiveness
    Learn unit design principles that help Advisors stay intentional while remaining flexible to meet students’ evolving needs.
  • Creating Space for Downtime, Playfulness, and Reflection
    Discover the research behind the benefits of intentional downtime, playful engagement, and the metacognitive power of reflection.
