AVID Expectations

Agenda/Planner

Write in your planner every period every day

If no homework, write "NONE"

If you have a test in a few days, write "study for test" for a couple days before the test.

TRF

Done completely and correctly

Done the night before, not done in class - Need to concentrate on current lesson

Action Plan

Visit your teacher's classrooms to get help, retake quizzes and tests, or complete homework

Use the time you spend in teacher's classrooms effectively (not just socializing with friends)

Go to the classes where you need the most support

Can get a library signature only once a week (Other signatures need to come from your teachers)

Cornell Notes

Taken in your current classes.

Most things can be taken as a Cornell note - video notes, teacher notes etc

Most teacher handouts can be turned into Cornell Notes. Just need to add left column questions, annotations/3rd column and summary.

Complete the same day that you took the notes. (including questions and summary) Remember curve of forgetting.

Quality is more important than Quantity

Can get a B on binder check with 4 excellent notes instead of 10 incomplete notes.

**Procrastination causes STRESS.

Keep current and it doesn’t matter when you have to turn them in.
