Each member of the AVID classroom has a specific role to play in the AVID Tutorial Process. Please review these so you are aware of your role and what to expect others in the group.

Role of the AVID Tutor

Role of the Student Presenter

Role of the Tutoring Group Members

Prior to arriving for a tutorial, students ought to complete a Tutorial Request Form (TRF). Ideally, this is done as homework. Adequate thought should be given to the process so that students are truly reflecting on their own learning and self-identifying points of confusion which are impeding their understanding of content. TRFs should not be completed last-minute as students enter the classroom or be copied from another student. TRFs should also focus on identifying Level 2 and Level 3 questions, as previously identified in the Levels of Questioning module.
