Larner, a secondary school collaboration coach in Colorado, says that this
47-page book is &acirc;€śa resource that is clear, concise and meaningful.&acirc;€ť The book
describes the entire process of setting up an advisory program and includes a
series of nine modules from &acirc;€śFirst Steps&acirc;€ť to &acirc;€śCountdown to the Launch.&acirc;€ť&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
