The Tutorial Process

What are Tutorials? Tutorials are a time for students to collaborate and help one another with questions they are having in academic classes.

How Often Do Tutorials Occur? Tutorials are typically scheduled on: Block Days

Taking Notes in Class #1 Students take Cornell Notes from lectures, videos, presentations, textbooks, etc. in their academic classes.

Preparing for Tutorials #2 At home, students complete side 1 of the AVID Tutorial Sheet which includes one higher level question from their academic classes, Cornell notes, homework, class work, quizzes, or tests

Developing Level 2 & 3 Questions #2 Questions for tutorials should be level 2 or 3 questions. Level 2 or 3 questions are not required for math. Hint: If the questions can be answered simply by looking in your book or your notes, it is probably a level 1 question. You may use the following handout for help developing level 2 & 3 questions.

Collecting Tutorial Sheets #3 As students enter the AVID classroom, the AVID teacher or an AVID Tutor collects the AVID Tutorial Sheets. The Tutorial Sheets are the “golden ticket” required to enter class.

Scoring Tutorial Sheets #3 AVID Teacher scores side 1 of the AVID Tutorial Sheets. If the tutorial slip is turned in late, the AVID teacher will deduct 10 points from the total score. Scoring

Choosing Student Tutors #4 One student from each tutorial group may be assigned the role of Student Tutor. Student Tutors help facilitate the tutorial process.

Getting Into Tutorial Groups #4 The AVID Teacher will assign the AVID tutorial groups.

Presenting the Questions #5 Students present their questions to the group one at a time by writing them on a white board. Students give a 30 second speech to explain what they know up until their point of confusion. Then group members and the AVID tutor ask questions to help the students with their questions.

How to Present a Question #5 Write the problem neatly on the whiteboard. Face the group members. Read the question out loud to the group. Explain any prior knowledge and what you already understand about the question. Explain what strategies you used in attempting to answer the question. Indicate to your group exactly where you became confused as you worked to answer this question.

Questions to Ask During Tutorials #6 Can you explain your question in another way? What do you already know about the question? What have you already tried? Where could you find a similar problem in the book? Do you have Cornell notes that may help? Where could you go for more information? What website might help you with your question? What does ___________mean? How would you graphically illustrate your process? What would happen if you changed _____________? What if you tried ______________? How would you teach this to a friend?

Recording Notes #6 Students take out a sheet of notebook paper and take 3-column notes during the tutorial process. Notes

Reflection #8 Students complete the reflection portion of the AVID Tutorial Sheet once all questions from the group have been answered. Completed AVID Tutorial Sheets are turned into the AVID Teacher for grading. Reflection

Scoring Tutorial Sheets #9 AVID Teachers finish scoring the AVID Tutorial Sheets.

Verify Your Learning #10 Better understanding = higher test scores = better grades = higher self-esteem = better future!!!!

Finished Early? Do your homework. Remember that you have a group of students available to help if you need it! Write summaries for your Cornell notes Write questions on the left side of your notes Study your notes or quiz one another Organize your AVID binders Read a book silently Ask AVID tutors about their college experience

Role of AVID Tutors During Tutorials Encourage students to ask questions of one another Keep the discussion going Make sure all students participate Guide students to the answer without simply supplying the answer Model higher order thinking questions (level 2 & 3 questions) Meet with the AVID teacher at the end of the period to discuss any concerns

Cornell Notes Half Sheet Turn this page of notes into “Cornell Notes” Fill in your heading Write in the Essential Question/Topic Write a question for EACH of the 10 steps Write a 2-3 sentence summary on the back AFTER Mrs. Dyke has checked your half sheet - staple it to your notes
