Carus School News
Hello Carus community,
Over the course of this year you will likely see and hear the term 'AVID' in communications coming from Carus. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, and is a program that is used in schools throughout the nation, and it is simply a researched collection of best practices for schools and teachers to follow that increases kid's levels of college readiness upon graduating from high school. This is not to say that all kids will choose to go to college- but that kids have the skills to be successful in college if this is the path that they choose.
The practices that you might see and hear about this year could be things such as note taking strategies, having kids show their learning through writing, utilizing deeper reading strategies, or strategies to actively engage all students in learning. Many of these sorts of strategies your child's teacher already uses, however AVID helps us to use a common language and to have more common expectations of the school experience that kids have at Carus. If you're interested in learning more, visit this page. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
