Writing allows students to think in complex ways, build critical thinking skills and developing knowledge of oneself and the outside world.

Students in the AVID classroom use writing in a variety of ways to extend and generate thinking, analyze and organize their own thought-processes, and revise and review current understandings.

Students learn best by engaging with their own thinking process and this kind of engagement encourages a sense of ownership over their learning. The AVID student is an equal participant in a Socratic tutorial session that engages him/her in asking critical questions, pursuing understanding and potentially revising his/her own thinking. Students use Costa’s model of questioning that levels learning from lower-level gather and recall to higher-level application and evaluation.

Collaboration actively engages each student in the process of learning, because it relies on the multitude of opinions and evidence each student brings to the discussion. Tutorials reinforce previous learning and encourage students to think ahead.

Students will internalize what they have studied and learned if they are able to collaborate with others and make connections.

AVID focuses on reading to increase comprehension, awareness of the different reasons for reading and understanding of the different structures of texts.
