CURRICULUM USER GUIDE
Welcome!
This curriculum serves as a guide for your 1a th grade advisory program. Each unit has a
title that aligns with a specific Expected Schoolwide Learning Result (ESLR) as are all 9­
12 grade advisory lessons in accordance with our W ASC goals. There are often several
lessons in each unit.
You may pick and chose which advisory lesson you'd like to do at any time.
This is your complete guide for the entire school year. Ifyou should need additional
lessons, they will be placed in your mailbox for your convenience. You may choose to
make copies oflessons for distribution, or a simple overhead for your day. You will not
be receiving weekly lessons as almost all lessons are placed in this guide.
Throughout the school year, advisories will be meeting for grade specific assemblies
aligned with our curriculum. Please stay alert for these announcements via your main
office mail box.
Remember, this is a school based, community effort, and all ofyour support is
