Good Advising for At-Risk
• Think of your Green, Red, & Yellow classes
• What would a balanced schedule look like for your at-risk
students?
• How would this schedule differ from the current
schedules they get?
• If block schedules are created, how would you have to
change a schedule to accommodate an at-risk student?
• What effect does good advising and coaching have on
retention?
