AVID is a program that prepares students for college readiness and success. It uses strategies like binders for organization, Cornell notes for note-taking, tutorials for collaborative study groups, philosophical chairs for discussion, and Socratic seminars. The presenters explain these AVID strategies and how teachers can implement them to benefit students of all abilities.

Technical textiles are textile materials manufactured mainly for their technical performance and functional properties. Technical textiles in various contexts are often referred to as performance textiles or functional textiles or engineered textiles or high-tech textiles.
Textile Testing & Quality Control (TTQC) is very important work or process in each department of export oriented industry. Buyers want quality but not quantity. In every department of textile industry quality maintained of each material, Because one material’s quality depend on another’s quality. For example, if qualified fiber is inputted then output will be good yarn.

Classroom Management and Disaffection
Barbara Zamorski and Terry Haydn, School of Education and Professional Development,
University of East Anglia
Abstract
This paper reports on aspects of the Norwich Area Schools Consortium (NASC) cross-school
Classroom Management and Disaffection research project undertaken as part of the NASC
programme. It documents the dual interwoven ‘stories’ of teacher engagement in research as a
learning experience and the substantive research undertaken. The project took place in two
stages, the focus of the second stage emerging out of the analysis of the first stage. Research
into both pupil and teacher perceptions concerning disaffection and classroom management
were investigated in the first stage. The second stage attempted to unravel the complex
relationships between disaffection, curriculum, pedagogy and context from pupil perspectives,
with insights on the relationship between a good lesson and a good teacher being of particular
interest.
Introduction
This project had its roots in the NASC Workshop held at the University in the summer of 1999.
The aim of the Workshop was to produce research designs and action plans for the four crossschool
research projects which were to become the second phase of the three-year NASC
programme on pupil disaffection. The starting point for this particular project was to research
‘effective in-school strategies to deal with disaffection and reduce exclusion'.
As a result of this event, the Classroom Management and Disaffection Research Group came into
being. The eight members of the group comprised six teachers from five NASC schools and two
members of the University staff (a UEA research co-ordinator and mentor). The group met at
the University on a regular basis to work on the planning and conduct of the research. The
research was carried in two stages, the focus of the second stage emerging out of the analysis of
the first stage. This paper describes the work of this group during these stages, and reports on
some of the research undertaken.
Stage One
Stage One of this project, which took place in the autumn term of 1999, began with an interest in
the following questions, which arose from a consensus amongst the group that there were
generally differences in the extent to which pupils were engaged in learning not only between
schools, but within schools.
• What factors enable some teachers to develop greater effectiveness in terms of class
management and the engagement of pupils in learning than others?
• Is it possible to draw on the experience of teachers and pupils to elucidate which are the
characteristic and most influential skills and attributes that make teachers good classroom
managers?
2
• In addition to teacher characteristics, is it possible to discern departmental, subject, or school
‘effects’ which influence pupil engagement in learning?
The group began by reviewing and reflecting on what had already been learned about classroom
management and disaffection from NASC
A 2 day seminar with 17 rural schools in Manitoba considering a systems look at reading growth. Day one the discussion focused on the what and why of our assessments while day two moved toward how to use the data we collect as part of our planning and instruction.

– These capable students, in the middle, often are not
realizing their full potential academically. Criteria to
consider for recruitment include:
• FCAT Scores (usually average to above average)
• Grades (usually average)
• Attendance
• Positive attitude
• College Potential
• Desire and Determination
• Family Support
• Historical Under-representation
in 4-year Colleges
• Other Special Circumstances

9. 2. Binders
• Students are given the
following materials during
the first week of school:
– 3” 3-Ring Binder
– Dividers
– Paper
– Pens, Pencils & Highlighters w/ Pouch for Binder
• To teach students organization and responsibility, they will
be expected to use this binder for all seven classes.
• It will be checked often in their AVID Elective Class for a
grade.
• They are also required to maintain a daily planner
which will also be checked.

12. 3. Cornell Notes
• Model the strategy on the doc cam.
– Think aloud as you take the notes with them.
• Have students volunteer to be the model
Cornell Note-takers on the doc cam.
• Use for homework or exit slips:
– Encourage students to generate H.O.T.
questions for the question column.
– Summary/reflections
18. 4. Tutorials
• Tutorials provide students
with an active learning
experience and time for

– Clarify and explore challenging concepts
– Review for tests
– Work together to solve any troublesome
homework problems
19. 4. Tutorials
• The Tutorial Request Form
• A tutorial group is
comprised of:

student or community member.

21. 5. Philosophical Chairs
• In class, students question, statement, or
quote to produce thought and discussion.
• Students must decide whether they agree or
disagree with topic.
• Chairs are placed in two lines facing
each other, with each line representing
the two sides of the topic.

fashion.
• If someone makes a very convincing point,
students can move to the opposite side. They
can change sides at any time, as often as they
feel compelled.
• After 30-40 minutes of discussion,
students will write a summary/reflection
of the topic.

read a newspaper article,
essay, short story, or literary
selection and take notes as
they read.
• In class, they will presented with a higher-order
thinking question to elicit thought and discussion.
