AVID ACCOLADES

Enjoy these highlights as we look forward to the possibilities this school year has to offer. The foundation of success that we've built in these initial weeks will undoubtedly pave the way for even greater accomplishments ahead.

On August 30th, Students and Teachers across RISD and the entire AVID Nation took a moment to pause and process, making a declaration of what their impact will be this year. Check out some of these incredible impact statements!

RISD AVID insists on rigor through WICOR.

Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization and Reading supports the teacher's craft, fills their tool box with strategies and allows for opportunities to take the content (what students need to know) and make it engaging, immersing the student into the curriculum (the how).

Explore how WICOR supports the Learning Framework and immerses students in their learning:

Students who write, deepen their understanding of the content, communicate their thinking as a content expert, competently and confidently.

Students who inquire clarify their own thinking, probe other's thinking and solve authentic problems.

Students who collaborate listen effectively to decipher meaning, deepen the learning of others through inquiry and active engagement, and work through identified structures and roles to achieve a common goal.

Students who organize develop and use tools to organize their thinking, resources and time effectively to prepare for rigorous courses and engage fully in instruction.

Students who read activate, engage, and extend beyond the text, making predictions and understanding text structures so that they can question and engage in deep inquiry.

NLE and FLA bring family and community in for AVID curriculum nights to showcase how parents can support the mission of AVID and their campus.

Giving back to the community and serving others not only looks great on a resume or application, but it is good for the soul. Jess Harben and Westwood JH students are already giving back as they donated their time to Feed My Starving Children and making dog toys for the shelters in our area.
