Corona Vista High – Avid Senior Seminar 4a-4b
Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester
Previous enrollment in AVID lower-level courses for three years. Enrollment in at least one Honors, Advanced Prerequisite: Placement, or International Baccalaureate course. The AVID Senior Seminar is the culmination of a student's years in the AVID program, and the course involves substantial critical reading and writing, preparation to external exams, such as Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate, and weekly Socratic seminars. Students enrolled in the Senior Seminar are required to complete weekly timed writings and analytical discourses in subjects across the curriculum. In addition, students are required to make oral presentations to the class on topics related to college entrance, contemporary issues, and social concerns. As with all AVID courses, the Senior Seminar features tutors-college students who lead discussions and analysis of the academic subjects in which the students are enrolled. Senior Seminar students, working with the tutors, are expected to participate in and eventually act as moderators in Socratic Seminars. These discussions move beyond didactic instruction and assist students in gaining multiple perspectives on texts, supporting arguments with clear reasoning and evidence, and developing their critical thinking skills to the degree necessary for success in college.
