AVID Elementary 3–6

This learning experience is designed to support new AVID Elementary 3–6 teachers in blending Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading (WICOR^®) with digital strategies to prepare students with the skills needed to become independent learners and be college- and career-ready.

Educators will gain an understanding of their role in an AVID Schoolwide system that provides differentiated instruction to build a culture of student success.

Participants will engage in both synchronous and semi-synchronous learning. All strategies, digital activities, and digital tools experienced can be leveraged in face-to-face or virtual learning environments.

Prerequisite: This learning experience is for new contracted AVID Elective member sites for the upcoming school year.
