What is AVID National Conference (NatCon)?
AVID National Conference is our annual premier professional learning event that brings educators, leaders, and AVID community members together to share strategies, celebrate impact, and envision what’s next in education.
NatCon is more than a conference; it's a movement of educators and leaders who believe in the power of possibility and the promise of every student. It's where ideas become strategies and strategies become impact. Together, we will share innovations, research, and best practices that elevate teaching, strengthen systems, and change lives.
Site Teams at National Conference
As attendees from the same site and district engage in our National Conference offerings, including pre-conference sessions, the Leadership Forum, concurrent sessions, and/or Path, we have added a space in the schedule for them to gather, process and plan. Teams will also be able to request meeting space in advance to support that collaboration.
National Conference is an opportunity for Site Teams to hear from practitioners and strategize on how to apply high-engagement teaching practices, data-informed decision making, and site-based leadership efforts to improve outcomes for students.
