AVID Tutors
Online Training and Resources
Tutors are essential to the success of the AVID elective class. They help to facilitate student access to rigorous curriculum.
FAQ
After attending an initial tutor training meeting and completing the online learning modules (new AVID tutors only) our goal is to have any additional learning/training be done online to keep the consistency of tutors being in the AVID classrooms. All tutors will be compensated for their time to complete any additional online learning/training.

Will there be training throughout the year?
No, you do not need to complete the learning modules, but it can be helpful to review/refresh on the Tutorial process. Learning modules 2-4 can be especially helpful. You will still need to attend an initial tutor meeting and turn in a signed AVID Tutor Agreement form.
All new to AVID tutors must complete the learning modules, in addition to attending an intial tutor training meeting. New tutors will be compensated for the time to complete the modules upon completion of all the modules and their corresponding assignments.

I am a returning tutor. Do I need to complete the
learning modules?
You are responsible for filling out a timesheet each week and having the appropriate initials from the AVID Elective teachers. Your timesheet can be sent over in the inter-school mail, or it can be scanned, and sent over to Emily Boldman at the Rice building each Monday. Your AVID Elective teacher is responsible for sending this form in.

How do I submit my hours?
I would like to do this again next school year. What are my next steps?
Before the school year is over we will be touching base with all of our tutors to see if they would be interested in returning for the next school year. Let us know at that time and we will start the process to bring you back as a tutor for the 2016-2017 school year.

We understand that class and work schedules can change as the school year goes on. Whenever possible, we would still like to keep you in the AVID classroom and can work to see if there are other sites/times that work better with your new schedule.
If you will be unable to continue as an AVID Tutor, please try to provide us with as much notice as possible so that we can work to find coverage, or new tutors, for your vacant spot.
My schedule has changed and I cannot be in the AVID Elective classes I intitially scheduled. What should I do?
Most importantly, be sure you let the AVID Elective teacher or AVID Site Coordinator know you will not be coming in. If you are at multiple sites, you must let all the Elective teachers or Site Coordinators know. If it is an emergency and you are unable to contact that many people, please let Emily Boldman know and she will contact your site(s) to let them know you will not be coming in.
If possible, try to provide your site(s) with as much notice as possible so that arrangements can be made for additional tutors to cover your classes/times.
