Much is made of building the skills to be able to work together to achieve a goal. Collaboration is a key skill in this century.
In AVID collaboration takes the form of purposeful teamwork to build new understanding through the explicit teaching of collaboration skills.
Students practice collaboration in many ways including but not limited to:
- tutorials and tutorial processes
- Socratic seminars
- philosophical chairs
- study buddies
- team building workshops
- classroom organisation.
