What’s Different About AVID SI Pop-Ups?

SI Pop-Ups deliver the impact of a full Summer Institute in a smaller, more intimate setting, bringing high-quality AVID professional learning to regions that don’t typically host our larger events. Designed for meaningful connection and focused learning, SI Pop-Ups are built to make a big impact.

SI Pop-Up isn’t just professional development—it’s a community-centered experience that:

• Delivers AVID’s high-impact strategies in a local, accessible format.
• Helps educators strengthen student engagement, critical thinking, and college readiness.
• Supports school and district teams with actionable planning time and collaboration.
• Offers a diverse lineup of research-informed sessions relevant to today’s classrooms and leadership roles.

General Session: The AVID Experience

Attend an inspiring session, featuring students and educators who will share how AVID strengthens student voice, elevates educator practice, and advances leadership. 

Communities of Practice

Deepen expertise through role‑alike collaboration and shared experiences. Strengthen your instructional strategies and build practical approaches that advance schoolwide systems and support student success. Sessions are designed for AVID Elective and content teachers, counselors, administrators, and district leaders.   

Site Team Time

Engage in dedicated time with your Site Team to foster clarity, alignment, and coherence, so every team can return ready to elevate student opportunity. New sites build shared foundations and set meaningful goals; experienced teams refine their plans for the year ahead; and individual participants reflect and connect with peers.
