A Focused Path Forward

Path Premium is a 3-day regional professional learning experience designed for teams who want dedicated time to move from learning into implementation.

It builds on the foundation of AVID Path to Schoolwide and adds key elements of AVID Summer Institute to deliver high-quality professional learning in a more focused, team-centered format.

Through structured collaboration, enhanced sessions, and intentional planning time, educators leave with clear next steps, not just ideas.

How Path Premium Builds on Path to Schoolwide

Path Premium extends the learning from Path to Schoolwide into deeper, team-based implementation by expanding the experience from two days to three. While Path to Schoolwide introduces AVID strategies and systems, Path Premium provides additional opportunities for collaboration and planning so teams have the time and structure they need to apply that learning with clarity and alignment.
