Showcase Focus:
Schoolwide Systems That Build Rigorous Academic Preparedness
Join us for an AVID site visit focused on Schoolwide Systems That Build Rigorous Academic Preparedness, highlighting the intentional structures in place to support students as they transition into middle school. Learn how our school has transformed the learning environment through research-based instructional practices, homeroom routines, and organizational systems to build student independence, increase achievement, and prepare all learners for long-term success. This will be a great event for elementary schools focused on a schoolwide approach and middle schools who are looking to focus on Tier 1 Instruction schoolwide.
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.
