Trusting Relationships + High Expectations = Every Student Achieves

Advisory

Advisory

As a part of our foray into Big Picture Learning, Maple High School now offers an Advisory class during 2nd period.  As of August 2023, all students are enrolled in an Advisory class and assigned to an Advisor.  We believe that high school graduates must know how to reason, problem-solve, and be active members of the community.  As a Big Picture Learning school, there is no canon of information that all students must know.  In a world where available information is growing exponentially, we believe that the most important thing a student needs to know is how to learn.  Integral to the Big Picture Learning design are five Learning Goals, a framework for looking at concepts, skills, and abilities, and a guide for creating personalized curriculum.  The Five Learning Goals are Personal Qualities, Communication, Quantitative Reasoning, Empirical Reasoning, and Social Reasoning.
