History/Social Science (2026–27)
Starting in June 2026

History/Social Science empowers history and social science educators to transform their classrooms into spaces where students read, write, think, and speak like historians with a focus on academic discourse, document analysis, and writing from multiple perspectives. Through WICOR® strategies, the AVID Critical Reading Process, Socratic Seminars, and unit planning, participants—whether new to AVID or already familiar with it—will explore disciplinary literacy, scaffold inquiry, and design rigorous, student-centered instruction that utilizes primary and secondary sources.
