Showcase Focus:
One Vision, Many Voices: The Power of AVID!!! At John E. Dwyer Technology Academy, a proud AVID National Demonstration School, we believe that every student’s voice shapes our shared vision of excellence. Our AVID program unites diverse learners, including our vibrant bilingual education community, under one goal: achieving college and career readiness through rigor, relationships, and opportunity. Join us to see how WICOR strategies and a culture of high expectations empower our students to think critically, collaborate meaningfully, and lead with purpose. Together, we are living proof of the power of AVID—one vision, many voices.
Does “All Students” Mean “All Students” at Your School or District?
We invite superintendents, district leadership, principals, and teacher leaders to see how schools are implementing AVID nationwide to:
Ensure student success by incorporating WICOR® (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading) strategies throughout all classrooms to support increased rigor schoolwide.
Provide ongoing professional learning for staff and site-based coaching.
Build collective educator agency to transform culture in support of all students.
Align the K–12 college and career readiness journey.
