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.
1. After every tutorial session, an AVID tutor should debrief the tutorial process with the AVID Elective teacher. Discuss with your AVID Elective teacher the procedure for debriefing after tutorials. On a page of Cornell notes, record what the procedure is for debriefing at your site.
2. Use the AVID Tutorial Observation Feedback Tool to observe either a student tutor or a college tutor facilitating a tutorial group. Complete the Tutorial Observation Feedback Tool and the reflection at the end of Tool for this activity. If you are unable to observe a live tutorial, watch this one.
3. Watch this video on how to complete a self-assessment on your own tutorial process. (Note: This video is designed for AVID Elective teachers, but you can still use it for information as an AVID tutor.) The self-assessment will allow you to gauge where every member of the tutorial group is at in the tutorial process.
4. Complete the self-assessment after you have had some experience tutoring. (You can review the video above for a refresher). Then, on a page of Cornell notes, use the results from the self-assessment to identify and list 3 goals you have for your focus area of growth during tutorials. You can still pick an area even if it is not a "tutor" focus area because you can influence all areas as a tutor.
5. Now that you have completed your orientation, fill-out your AVID Tutor Agreement.

For this module, you will turn in:
1. Cornell notes on debriefing procedures at your site.
2. Completed Tutorial Observation Feedback Tool and reflection for another tutor at your site.
3. Self-assessment form.
4. Three "focus area goals" on Cornell note paper.
5. AVID Tutor Agreement
