Standards

Students engage with inquiry questions aligned to grade level standards with exemplar answers to clarify learning goals in each lesson. 

Rigor and Engagement

Students engage in a minimum of three unique AVID WICOR or IB approaches to learning (ATL) activities in each lesson to increase rigor and engagement. 

Evaluation

Teachers monitor student work throughout each activity to assess understanding, provide feedback, and allow for corrections. 

Metacognition

Students take an active role in learning in each lesson through processing, summarizing, and reflecting.
