AVID Excel Elective Level 1: Implementing the Foundations of Instruction (2026–27)
Starting in June 2026
AVID Excel Elective Level 1 equips AVID Excel Elective educators with the tools, strategies, and resources to accelerate language acquisition, literacy, and college readiness for experienced multilingual scholars in the AVID Excel Elective. Grounded in AVID Foundations of Instruction and WICOR®, participants explore scaffolds, routines, the AVID Excel Digital Planning Guide, and Scholar Group structures to transform instruction into an empowering, language-rich, rigorous learning experience. AVID Excel’s asset-based approach to multilingual learners, honoring their voices while building academic confidence, is a catalyst for learning, and participants will leave inspired and ready to create supportive, engaging classrooms where multilingual scholars thrive as readers, writers, thinkers, and leaders.
