The 9-Week Cycle for Advisory and Intervention Teams

A full 21-week sequence does not fit every schedule. The 9-week cycle groups complementary strategies into nine focused sessions.

Where it fits

• Advisory periods
• Counseling groups
• Mentoring programs
• Student-support team interventions

What makes it practical

Each session follows the same rhythm: Connect, Learn, Try, Reflect, Act, Follow up. Teams can track evidence week by week and review the results at the end of the quarter.
