ARC Team Update: What's Been Cooking?
This month, we celebrate March Middle School from the Val Verde Unified School District! On October 19, 2023, the AVID Leadership Team at March Middle School hosted an exceptional site visit, showcasing an unparalleled level of excellence in implementing AVID strategies and systems schoolwide. During the visit, several key highlights emerged, including a focus on empowering student-led professional development, a data-driven site team for decision-making, department-specific strategies aligned with the WICOR framework, and the successful alignment of AVID CCI rubric with the High School Readiness Index (HSRI). The dedication and effort demonstrated by the team were commendable and instrumental in supporting student success.
