Introduction
Path Premium trainings transform conceptual understanding into usable strategies that are intentional, purposeful, and replicable and lead to student success. Path Premium 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 this focused three-day experience, participants benefit from deeper collaboration, dedicated Site Team planning time, and enhanced professional learning designed to move from ideas into implementation. Educators leave with practical strategies, stronger team alignment, and a clear path for driving lasting impact in their schools. Your participation is contingent upon access to AVID technology platforms and tools.
