General Course Information and Notes

VERSION DESCRIPTION

Major Concepts/Content:  Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is an academic elective course that prepares students for college readiness and success, and it is scheduled during the regular school day as a year-long course.  Each week, students receive instruction that utilizes a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum provided by AVID Center, tutor-facilitated study groups, motivational activities, and academic success skills.  In AVID, students participate in activities that incorporate strategies focused on writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading to support their academic growth.  Additionally, students engage in activities centered around exploring college and career opportunities and their own agency.

During the 10th grade AVID elective course, students will refine the AVID strategies 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.
