Avid Tutor Experience for Service Learning

As an Avid tutor at Northridge Middle school I have come to realize the importance of Reciprocal Civic Engagement. It is crucial for teachers to get rid of this "Messiah Complex" in order for our student to succeed. The Avid program is really good at creating a family-like environment in the sense that the students have the same classes with each other for their whole middle school education. By teaching our kids to collaborate with one another by using technology we are not only teaching our students to work through their problems but also to teach them to reach out to other people outside their everyday interactions.
