A Sample Week in the AVID Elective shows the overarching activities and curriculum AVID Elective students participate in each week. Tutorials are an integral, recurring part of the class, so your help as an AVID tutor is vital not only to student success, but overall implementation of the AVID system.

Students and teachers sometimes mistakenly believe that this class is somehow easier than others because it is called an Elective class. This is not the case. True to AVID's mission, the class offers students rigorous academic, collaborative, and real-world activities in order to prepare them for the world beyond high school. Work is graded and high expectations are the norm. While there are times that students can work on homework, this is not a study hall class. Most weeks, there will not be time to complete other work.

The next module will focus more specifically on the types of activities and work expected of students in the AVID Elective class.
