Junior Advocacy

Welcome to Advocacy!

11th Grade Students

Advocacy is a multi-faceted program designed to provide students with advocacy, study help, skill development, and avenues to create a reflective presentation of their learning. Groups are arranged by grade level and stay together for two years at Evanston High School, giving students time to confer with their advocates and prepare for presentations of learning. Advocacy meets for 30 minutes twice/month. These days are designed primarily for advocacy, social-emotional learning, and to get help from teachers. Students focus on:

acquiring knowledge and skills
reflecting on that acquisition
expressing that reflection

In short, Advocacy is designed to help students become more creative and self-directed in their learning and to give them more opportunities to publicly demonstrate that learning in order to prepare themselves to become more effective in the realms of citizenship, interpersonal relationships, and personal development.
