Teacher Testimonials
Teacher Testimonials
“‘Marking the text’ and ‘writing in the margins’ are practices that strong readers and writers use to interact critically with texts. Teaching these strategies to students who do not yet use them ‘naturally’ is good practice and will hopefully become habits over time.”
-Chris Lyons & Dan Richardson, 10th Grade Interdisciplinary: AP World History & Honors World Lit
“AVID WICOR strategies work because they are a strategized academic way to scaffold student learning and understanding regardless of students' academic abilities.”
-Staci Buchanan, 9th Grade Social Studies & AVID Elective
“We use focused note taking - revisit our notes daily, reread, summarize, and use them to answer our daily "bellringer". I think this focused form of note taking creates a living document for students to interact with the material in a way they would not be able to otherwise.
-Claire Humes, 9th Grade Science
”WICOR strategies provide the scaffolding for students to engage in rigorous tasks and empower students to climb their way to academic success. The tools are in their hands, not just in the mind of the all-knowing teacher. Using these strategies, my students have been able to accomplish more than I used to think was possible.”.
-Kristel Lehner, 9th Grade English & AVID Elective
