AVID WICOR Showcase
Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID, is a proven learning support structure, known as WICOR , that incorporates teaching/learning methodologies in the critical areas of Writing to Learn, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading to Learn. WICOR provides a learning model that educators can use to guide students in comprehending concepts and articulating ideas at increasingly complex levels.
Marsh’s teachers have been trained in the WICOR principles and incorporate their proven strategies into their lessons. This week's WICOR spotlight is Mr. Gunther's IRI class. Mr. Gunther has taught students to use WICOR organizational skills by having them fill out and set weekly plans and SMART goals for themselves around their grades and assignments. Every Friday students return to their goals from Monday and review their progress. This then helps them determine their future goals for the next week. Way to go Mr. Gunther, you are a WICOR Rock Star!!
