AVID Tutorials - What are they?
Twice a week, students come to class with something they are unsure about/confused about (a past test/quiz question they missed, something they covered in class they don't quiet get, etc.). Tutorials is an interactive process in which each student presents his/her question about a subject they are having trouble with. With the guidance of college tutors, students help each other during this time and take 3 Column Notes, which they can refer to throughout the year. Tutorials are not a study hall, or a one-on-one tutoring process. They are a way for students to work together to help each other better understand content in their CORE classes. It's something college students do!
Tutorial Steps:
Here is a brief overview just so you get an idea of the structure and process:
You will hear the term “TRF”. This stands for Tutorial Request Form. Students complete the front side of this form the day before their tutorials. Students will complete TRF’s during the last 10 minutes of class on Mondays and for homework the night before the block day. Typically, this is the only main homework besides the weekly AVID grade checks.The form helps students review problems they don’t quite understand. Students have been asked to keep all tests and quizzes from math in a special sheet protector. They’ve also been asked to put a colored question mark next to things they are confused about during class. They can bring these topics with them to our AVID tutorials. Here is a short video on how to fill out a TRF
