Completing Senior data in the AVID website involves gathering and inputting critical information about senior students, typically related to their academic performance, post-secondary plans, and other relevant metrics.
STEPS:
Explain that completing senior data is essential for tracking achievements and supporting post secondary plans.
Prepare students by ensuring that all necessary documents are on hand:
Transcripts for GPA
SAT/ACT scores
FAFSA confirmation
List of colleges students applied to
College acceptance and scholarship details
Dedicate a class time for students to log in and input their information. Look for communication about login credentials from your district director, and provide students with the link to the AVID website and their login and password information.
Walk students through each section, ensuring they understand what's required for fields such as college applications, FAFSA completion, scholarships, etc.
Encourage students to review their entries for accuracy before submitting them.
Check your teacher portal or summary view to ensure all students have submitted their data.
Follow up with those who haven't completed the process.
Use the data to recognize achievements, such as scholarship awards or college acceptances.
Tips for Success:
Leverage peer support: pair students to help each other navigate the platform
Offer incentives: provide small rewards or make this a class assignment/project
Use a checklist: Distribute a checklist of required documents and data points to prepare students in advance
