What’s My Role?
Objective:
SWBAT develop or identify the purpose for advisory. SWBAT develop a result statement. SWBAT identify a minimum of two student roles and responsibilities at Burnet. SWBAT define the reason for this activity: to take responsibility for their actions at school.
Materials:
Copy of Burnet Middle School Advisory Roles and Responsibilities
Length of time: Four advisory periods
Sequence: Monday: Briefly review the list of problems and solutions you defined last week. Discuss the concept of empowerment: we are taking back our school to have the kind of school we want. Display the BMS Advisory Student Roles and Responsibilities and focus on the “purpose for advisory” box. The core values on the completed form are “personal, academic, and civic empowerment” As a class, develop your own core values using the blank form. Develop a result statement as well.
Tuesday. Review your results statement and your core values from Monday. Discuss the “Roles and Responsibilities” box. Students develop two roles and responsibilities for what they would need to do to build a good school community.
Wednesday: Review the two roles and responsibilities from Tuesday. Develop two more.
Thursday: Role play the roles and responsibilities you have developed. For instance, if “respectful communication” was a one responsibility the teacher would play the role of student, and would role play a disruptive, disrespectful, abusive student. The student would play the role of the teacher, and would model respectful communication. Repeat this for as many roles and responsibilities as you have time for.
Friday: Appreciation: single out students and publicly appreciate something about them. Model this by appreciating the whole class for the work they did on their roles and responsibilities statement. Model it for the individual student by singling one student out (maybe someone who doesn’t get noticed or one with whom you’ve so far failed to develop a strong relationship). Students can choose to appreciate one another in turn.
Work product:
Burnet Middle School Advisory Roles and Responsibilities statement. Try to go paper free: use overhead transparencies, a projection screen, the Smartboard, or a document camera for display rather than giving a paper copy to each student.
Notes: Our objective is two-fold: use advisory to educate about shared values in a student-centered way. Modify this lesson in any way that works for you but let’s reinforce a consistent message across the entire campus.
