Tutorial IntroductionEQ: What steps does a student go through as they participate in Tutorials?

Tutorials will be a BIG part of your success as a student this year. You will participate in them 2x a week (40%) and will do between 50-60 of them by the end of the school year.

There are two benefits you receive from participating in AVID Tutorials:

1. Product: Help right now for things you don’t fully understand in your classes. (You will get extra help from college tutors and your AVID family.)

2. Process: Learning to think critically about problems and ask questions to help others understand. (You will learn to define what you don't know and how to study with others.)

A big part of the battle of being successful in school is getting good at knowing what you don't know (identifying POCs) and understanding what it is you are supposed to know.

When you review your Cornell Notes and complete HW assignments, you sh. be looking for things you don't understand we'll or deeply....try to back your brain into a corner by asking higher-level questions about the information in your notes or textbook.

Writing Tutorial Questions Writing Tutorial Questions (Step 2)(Step 2)

1. Complete homework from academic classes. Is there anything you don’t get?

2. Review your Cornell Notes for this week. (Steps R/N/L/L)

3. Identify material that you a) don’t really understand, b) want extra help with, or c) want to explore on a deeper level.

4. When you come up with a question, write it on your Tutorial Request Form in Box B (TRF).

5. Fill in Box C and D.

5. Fill in box E (Key Terms) by defining/explaining the key academic vocabulary or language of the discipline.

6. Try to solve the problems on your own.

7. Use Academic Language to write your Point of Confusion Tutorial question.

Tell/Remind students that items B-H on their TRF are designed to1. Get them to a place where they know what they don't know, and2. Teach them how to think critically about things they don't understand in their classes.

They are developing mental habits that will enable them to solve difficult problems rather than simply shut down and give up. Even without the Tutorial to follow, steps B-H are explicit critical thinking.

3. In other words, the TRF form teaches them how to think by building a model for problem solving in their mind.

Questions?Questions?

• What questions do you have about filling in your Tutorial Request Form?

Students generally ask what they should do if they don't have any questions...they are understanding envy thing in their classes. I usually begin by telling them that even IF they understand the content from their classes, they still know next-to-nothing about those topics. They are then told to try to back their brain into a corner by asking Costa's Level 3 questions about their classes. If they are still having no luck, they should read the accompanying lessons in their textbook to generate an authentic POC. If not that, they can come in the morning to see their AVID teacher for help developing a Tutorial question.

Don’t show a video for this section….just teach them the procedure.

You will need to explain to the students and practice the procedure for coming into class on Tutorial days because none of the videos

do it like we do.

1.Line up outside with TRF ready to grade

2.Go to Tutorial group, write agenda, take out Student Presenter and Group Member Protocol, and set up Tutorial 3-Column Notes. (You will be in the same Tutorial group for an entire quarter.)

3.Make sure you have all supplies needed. (Notes, Marker, Eraser, Textbooks, Protocol handout)

(2 min.)

You have a resource for helping you to deliver your 30-second speech as the student presenter.

Bring any relevant class notes you have or handouts with you as you go to the board.Write your question and pre-work quickly so as to not waste time.

During Tutorial (Step 6)During Tutorial (Step 6)

• Group members use Inquiry Process, asking questions to help “un-stick” the Student Presenter’s thinking.

• Use your Group Member Protocol for help with questioning

• Check for understanding to make sure the Student Presenter understands.

During Tutorial (Step 6)During Tutorial (Step 6)

• Group members should be taking notes all along the way.

• Use your note paper as "scratch paper" to work out the problems they are doing on the board.

• If you have notes or a handout that will be helpful, take it out.

• The tutor will take notes for the student presenter...if there is no tutor, someone else will have to take the notes for them.

During Tutorial (Step 6)During Tutorial (Step 6)

• Once the Student Presenter understands and gets past their POC, they need to write the steps or process used to solve that type of problem or question in the third column of 3-column notes.

• They then give their concluding 30-second speech to demonstrate to the group they now understand their question.
