AVID Strategies Class
Mrs. Jessica Scheff
The Goal
The goal of the AVID Strategies class is to advance the thinking of our students. The class will use AVID materials and strategies to support the students' learning in their core classes. There will be a strong focus on careers and real-world skills needed for success in a global society. Students will be analyzing, critiquing, discussing, collaborating, hypothesizing, and more. We want the students to want more knowledge than what is just given to them; to develop a thirst for knowledge, know how to find new information, and how to process that information.
