Transcript About the AVID Binder - Baldivis Secondary College

The AVID Binder
Organisation is one of the most important parts of the AVID program. Management of
time and energy and learning to set priorities can make the difference between success
and failure at school, in further education and in the workplace. Students must learn to
plan effectively for academic assignments, organising information and ideas for
assessments and projects.
Consistent with its focus on promoting “individual determination,” AVID provides support
for the organization of materials, assignments, assessments, handouts and notes.
The AVID Binder is the central strategy in supporting students to develop this hugely
important skill.
Why is it important?
Having an organised AVID Binder helps students to
quickly and easily;
 Find their assignments, homework, and their
needed supplies;
 Make sure they are well prepared for all of their
classes; and
 Ensure that all important assignments and
homework do not get lost or damaged.
The college provides all students with their initial
