Introduction
AVID Path to Schoolwide transforms conceptual understandings into usable strategies that are intentional, purposeful, and replicable and that lead to student success. AVID Path to Schoolwide brings educators together to implement engaging classroom practices, deepen their commitment to student success, and create learning environments where all students are equipped to tackle complex issues, problems, and information. Through immersive, two-day professional learning, participants strengthen instruction, leadership, systems, and culture to support schoolwide impact. Educators leave with practical tools, collaborative insights, and a clear path for applying AVID practices right away. Your participation is contingent upon access to AVID technology platforms and tools.
