Counselor's Corner ~ Anne Duncan
AVID for 6 th Graders
AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination) is a college readiness system in all Beaverton middle and high schools and includes the AVID elective class during the school day. Your feeder middle school is looking for 35 students to be enrolled in the AVID elective class for next year.
The AVID elective is a year-long elective class, taken in addition to the academic core classes (humanities, math, science, and other required courses) at your middle school. It is based on writing as a tool for learning, the inquiry method, reading, organization, and collaborative grouping. Your feeder school’s AVID elective teacher is looking for 35 students to be enrolled next year.
AVID students selected for the AVID elective are...
In the “academic middle” – meeting standards in all subject areas and passing standardized tests, but need a little extra support to do better.
Needing help with study skills and organizational skills
Motivated to go to college but don’t quite know how or have resources at home.
Willing to work hard and study every night.
Historically underrepresented in 4-year universities (first one in the family to attend college, students coming from economically challenging situations, students of color, etc.).
Facing special circumstances that make it difficult for them to actualize their college dream.
Students must apply and interview to be in the AVID elective class. For application materials, contact Anne Duncan (anne_duncan@beaverton.k12.or.us).
For more information about the AVID elective class, contact Whitford middle school. Application is due March 24, 2017 and must be turned into Montclair.
