建议

教师 members at 365平台 are extraordinarily dedicated teachers whose passion for educating young people goes beyond the classroom. 无论是在球场上, 在宿舍里, 在餐厅或在幕后, faculty members are always guiding and supporting their students. Typically, the faculty member of the most significance to a student is his or her advisor.

 

建议 is a part of Westminster’s overall emphasis on individual attention to our students. We want each of our students to feel that there are adults with whom they can talk about issues that interest or concern them, 专门照顾他们的成年人. The advisor is also important as a "go-to person" for parents to turn to with any concerns, someone who can relay information or questions back and forth between parents and their child’s teachers.

建议 is a priority at Westminster, not an afterthought. The advisor system assures that each student receives oversight, guidance and support from a faculty member dedicated to that student. New students have advisors assigned to them by the Director of Studies; returning students get to choose their advisor, 确保良好的匹配. Some students will stay with the same advisor all four years, creating continuity and a strong bond; others change every year, preferring a different perspective and the opportunity to create meaningful relationships with several different faculty members.

 

学生每周至少与导师见面一次, 但大多数人会更经常地说话, as their paths cross frequently in this ideally-sized community. 顾问帮助过渡, 监督学生的课堂表现, collects information and concerns from classroom teachers, 观察学生的互动和反应, 调和冲突, 促进新兴的独立性, and opens conversation about a wide range of issues. The relationships between advisors and their advisees are some of the deepest and most long lasting of the many relationships formed on the Hill.

 

Westminster prides itself on educating the whole student rather than simply transmitting information, and these deep relationships with an advisor are integral to achieving that important goal.
