AVID One Pager Project

Project Description

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a nationally recognized college-readiness program that prepares students for higher education through structured learning strategies. The AVID One Pager is one of the most powerful AVID strategies — a visual, student-created artifact that combines writing, critical thinking, and creativity to demonstrate deep understanding of any topic.

The AVID One Pager is a natural fit for AVID elective teachers because it directly addresses all five components of the WICOR framework:

• Writing — Students craft a central claim and supporting ideas in their own words
• Inquiry — The driving question pushes students to think beyond surface-level recall
• Collaboration — Students share and discuss their One Pagers with peers
• Organization — The structured template teaches students to organize complex information visually
• Reading — Students draw from texts, articles, podcasts, or films to build their central claim
