We Aren’t Finished Yet: Real Talk About Real Advising Carrie Chandler-
8:15 AM - 9:15 AM
HIGH SCHOOL - 806
" Let’s be honest—if advising was just one annual meeting, we’d all have a lot more free time (and fewer spreadsheets). But we aren’t finished yet, because helping students navigate life after high school takes more than good vibes and graduation plans.
This session introduces the Effective Advising Framework (EAF) from TEA—a practical, no-fluff roadmap for building advising systems that actually work. We’ll unpack the five Prioritized Levers (think: the Avengers of student planning), look at how to assess what’s working (or not) and explore how a strong advising program can boost CCMR outcomes—yes, the kind that comes with rewards.
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone. Effective Advising is a team sport that requires leadership, collaboration, and shared responsibility across your campus and district. You’ll leave with tools, laughs, and a renewed sense that your role matters—and so does the support around you.

We Aren’t Finished Yet: Real Talk About Real Advising Carrie Chandler-

" Let’s be honest—if advising was just one annual meeting, we’d all have a lot more free time (and fewer spreadsheets). But we aren’t finished yet, because helping students navigate life after high school takes more than good vibes and graduation plans.
This session introduces the Effective Advising Framework (EAF) from TEA—a practical, no-fluff roadmap for building advising systems that actually work. We’ll unpack the five Prioritized Levers (think: the Avengers of student planning), look at how to assess what’s working (or not) and explore how a strong advising program can boost CCMR outcomes—yes, the kind that comes with rewards.
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone. Effective Advising is a team sport that requires leadership, collaboration, and shared responsibility across your campus and district. You’ll leave with tools, laughs, and a renewed sense that your role matters—and so does the support around you.

We Aren’t Finished Yet: Real Talk About Real Advising Carrie Chandler-
1:55 PM - 2:55 PM
HIGH SCHOOL - 806
" Let’s be honest—if advising was just one annual meeting, we’d all have a lot more free time (and fewer spreadsheets). But we aren’t finished yet, because helping students navigate life after high school takes more than good vibes and graduation plans.
This session introduces the Effective Advising Framework (EAF) from TEA—a practical, no-fluff roadmap for building advising systems that actually work. We’ll unpack the five Prioritized Levers (think: the Avengers of student planning), look at how to assess what’s working (or not) and explore how a strong advising program can boost CCMR outcomes—yes, the kind that comes with rewards.
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone. Effective Advising is a team sport that requires leadership, collaboration, and shared responsibility across your campus and district. You’ll leave with tools, laughs, and a renewed sense that your role matters—and so does the support around you.
