curriculum, based on rigorous standards, was developed by middle
and senior high school teachers in collaboration with college
professors. It is driven by the WIC-R method, which stands for
writing, inquiry, collaboration, and reading. AVID curriculum is
used in AVID elective classes, in content-area classes in AVID
schools, and even in schools where the AVID elective is not
offered. Writing – many forms, scientific, creative, poetry,
rhymes, definitions, vocabulary Inquiry – pose problems,
situations or activities needing thought, application of
information and use of knowledge to solve or devise a solution
to a problem Collaboration – work as an ACTIVE participant in a
group. Not just a partner, but an active and contributing member
of the group. Reading – methods for different types of reading.
Texts, articles, stories, show how to read and attach meaning to
different types of reading.
