How does AVID utilize feedback for student improvement?

AVID places a strong emphasis on using feedback as a vital tool for student improvement by offering constructive criticism and supportive guidance. This approach enables students to understand their strengths and areas for growth, fostering a positive learning environment where they can thrive. By providing feedback that is both actionable and encouraging, AVID encourages students to take ownership of their learning journey, allowing them to make necessary adjustments and improve their academic performance over time.

In contrast to simply relying on annual assessments, which may not provide timely or specific guidance, AVID's focus on ongoing feedback is integral to fostering a growth mindset. Minimizing personal feedback would hinder students' ability to learn from mistakes and grow, while requiring peer reviews at the end of the year does not support continuous improvement throughout the academic year. Instead, AVID prioritizes consistent and meaningful feedback to fuel students' academic development.
