My Students
My students are high school seniors in the AVID program. This program is designed to help students develop the emotional and academic skills necessary to be successful in high school, by encouraging them to take AP and honors courses so that they are prepared for the academic rigor they will face in their post-secondary education. Many of these students are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and will be the first in their families to attend college.
My Project
This year has already been one filled with enumerable challenges and many uncertainties. As they transition into this next phase of their lives, they will encounter many other “firsts," alone. My hope is that reading "The Naked Roommate and 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College" together, will allow for candid discussions and provide them some idea of what to expect as they enter this new, and very likely, unpredictable chapter where they will have to make many important decisions, independently for the first time in their lives.
