Update on Tutorials

The Tutorial process is improving with each period. Students are turning in their questions as they come into the room, and the AVID tutors grade the questions and form groups based on the subject of the questions. Once students get into their tutorial groups, they glue their questions into their spiral notebooks and begin working together.

Students who present their questions explain to their group what they do and do not understand about their questions. Their group then guides them to the answer without just telling them the answer.

At the conclusion of the tutorials, students write a reflection on the concepts they learned, how they learned it, who helped them, and how they can apply that knowledge into their other classes.

Here are some pictures of students working in groups from October 1-2, 2009:
