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.

Performance Objectives

• Apply WICOR strategies schoolwide to provide quality differentiated instruction to emergent and independent learners, in order to scaffold student success with rigorous content.

• Establish and model an environment where all students believe in and activate their own potential, build relationships, and exercise their academic, social, emotional, and professional knowledge and skills. 
• Create an articulated AVID system across an AVID Elementary school that supports rigorous academic preparedness, student agency, and opportunity knowledge, increasing college and career readiness for all students.
