Advancing the AVID Elective: MS and HS

This strand is reserved for experienced AVID Elective teachers and focuses on continuous improvement of the AVID Elective class through advanced implementation of WICOR methodologies and instructional practices that support all students. Participants will explore methods of evaluating the student success rate of the AVID Core Elements and help students get to the “why” of what they are learning by increasing the rigor of tutorials and collaborative study groups. Participants will increase their practice of vertical articulation, as well as clarify the roles of teacher, student, and parent leaders through implementation of the AVID Secondary 11 Essentials for grades 6–12 at their site through increased fidelity, both within the AVID Elective class and schoolwide.
