September AVID Strategy of the Month
The process of becoming an organized person can begin by learning skills and systems for managing materials. Students (and educators) are often frustrated by lost assignments, inability to find materials, and general disorganization. As proficiency with an organizational system for materials increases and begins to eliminate these frustrations, the benefits of organization become apparent. In turn, this can motivate persistent use of these skills and systems and development of long-term organizational routines, which translates to college and career readiness.
