Preparing for College

This strand is designed for counselors, teachers, site coordinators and administrators, and those involved in college-readiness support programs who are experienced with AVID concepts and methodologies. The strand will focus on how to support AVID students (especially those in grades 11 and 12) with the college application process, including financial aid and scholarship opportunities, college admissions, college entrance exams, gender inequity, and college “fit.” Strategies will also be shared on how to establish and expand a college-going culture schoolwide.
