Atascocita High School – Avid II

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The AVID 2 Elective class accelerates students into more rigorous course selections. Second year students are enrolled in a college preparatory sequence including the elective section of AVID where they receive the academic and motivational support to succeed by a trained AVID teacher. During the AVID class, students are coached by college tutors. During the 10th grade AVID Elective course, students will refine the AVID skills to meet their independent needs and learning styles. Students will continue to refine and adjust their academic learning plans and goals, increasing awareness of their actions and behaviors. As students increase their rigorous course load and school/community involvement, they will refine their time- management and study skills accordingly. Students will expand their writing portfolio to include analyzing prompts, supporting arguments and claims, character analysis, and detailed reflections. Students will also analyze various documents in order to participate in collaborative discussions and develop leadership skills in those settings. Students will expand their vocabulary use, continuing to prepare for college entrance exams. Text analysis will focus on specific strategies to understand complex texts. Lastly, students will narrow down their colleges and careers of interest based on their personal interests and goals. AVID is available to Humble ISD students in sixth through twelfth grade, depending on acceptance into the program. All AVID students are required to enroll in at least one Advanced Academic course.
