What Is Personalization?
Personalization is a learning process in which schools help students assess their own talents and aspirations, plan a pathway toward their own purposes, work cooperatively with others on challenging tasks, maintain a record of their explorations, and demonstrate learning against clear standards in a wide variety of media, all with the close support of adult mentors and guides (Clarke, 2003)

RI Policy & Regulations
The Regents’ (High School) Regulations require strategies for responding to, recording, and planning for each individual student’s social/emotional, academic, and career needs beginning no later than grade five. The Regents sought a minimum starting point at grade five to support student success in middle and high schools. Ideally, all districts will have a comprehensive K-12 school-counseling program. In addition, social/emotional needs referenced by the Regents encompass the personal/social domain of the National Model for School Counseling Programs.

What Is an Advisory? Student advisories foster meaningful,
sustainable student-adult and student-student relationships that support student achievement, improve student behavior, build community, and enrich the lives of all involved. Advisors meet with student on a regular basis for the purpose of academic, career, and personal-social advising.
Advisory activities:― help students with self-assessment in the
academic, personal/social, and career domains
― help students set goals and monitor their progress toward those goals in each of the domains
― give students a chance to develop a meaningful relationship with a caring adult
