A Common Language for Strategies

Make sure you have this poster hanging proudly in your class!

AVID requires national demonstration campuses to use a "common language" with AVID strategies. Our staff is rocking the use of strategies, this poster will help make sure we are all using the same name.

WHY AVID?

System- AVID National Demo schools have a Schoolwide system in place that is data driven. (See attachments below for data and information)


AVID is an elective class, but the AVID strategies are a system to help ALL students (AVID Scholars) close any opportunity gaps and teach them the skills to be successful.

Social Studies teachers participated in a philosophical chair discussion during PD. One of the favorite topics (because it is a discussion it's not a debate) was, "The Dallas Cowboys will win the super bowl."
