NORTHSIDE ISD: DEPARTMENT OF GUIDANCE & COUNSELING
The Northside Independent School District Advisory Program, an integral component of the Pre K-12 educational program, enables students to belong and contribute to a community, apply the goal-setting process, and develop academic, personal, social, and career competence. Students meet in small groups on a weekly basis with trained, caring advisors who are in partnership with parents to personally assist students.
The NISD Goal-Setting Program is designed for students to set, implement, and evaluate personal goals related to learning, service, and/or responsibility. It is organized around the ten-step goal setting process and is implemented through instructional and advisory programs by trained educators with the support of parents, community members, trained staff, and peers.
