This is year four of the AVID class. In this course, students continue to work on skills necessary for success in college. The focus on WICOR strategies for success, ie. Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading are ongoing. Students must apply for AVID every year. Students who have not been in AVID previously can apply and may be accepted in limited situations, such as moving from another school’s AVID program. The application process includes both a written application and an interview. Students interested in AVID should see Chris Martin in counseling to apply. \[E312X\] AVID Peer Tutor AVID tutors work to cultivate the organization, reading, writing, collaboration, and inquiry skills central to the AVID curriculum. Tutors must be comfortable leading small groups during projects, Socratic seminars, tutoring sessions, etc. They should be able to work in areas outside of their comfort zones. The primary focus is academics, but note that strong candidates should serve as a good role model and “big brother” or “big sister” as well. There is a mandatory training session prior to the class. Tutors will be working in AVID grades 9 - 11. Peer Mentors receive a Pass/Fail grade. * * *
