During the last week of school this year (aka. proctoring and English Regents exam grading week...) I will be in Dallas for AVID training!
Not exactly sure about the details of the training, but I am thrilled.
AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. Basically, it's a program that targets 'middle of the road' students--who are capable of excelling in rigorous courses but are falling short of their potential--to prepare them for success at four year colleges. A number of my students are AVID students, and it's incredible how much they've changed as students this year in terms of organization, motivation, study habits, and questioning. They've taken ownership of their education.
I'll be trained in how to incorporate the AVID curriculum, which is driven by writing, inquiry, collaboration, and reading-- into my ELA classroom.
More details to come!
