Welcome to Glenn High School and the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Elective is a multi-year course for grades 6-12 that builds college and career readiness skills. It is scheduled during the regular school day as a year-long, academic elective. Students receive instruction in a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum aligned to the AVID College and Career Readiness Framework. Students engage in learning tasks that incorporate strategies focused on writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading (WICOR®) to support academic growth. They participate in facilitated tutorials twice a week to support academic preparedness in their content classes. Additionally, students engage in learning tasks centered around exploring college and career opportunities as well as motivational activities to develop relational capacity and student agency.

Tutorials will be available every Tuesday and Thursday in the morning, 7:45-8:10, or by appointment in room 2418.
Students will need to make sure they have a writing utensil and paper for notes every day when they enter the classroom. I will provide paper resources and links through google classroom, but their laptops need to be charged and ready to use upon teacher request. Thank you!
