AVID Elementary K–2

This learning experience will support new AVID Elementary K–2 teachers in blending Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading (WICOR^®) with digital strategies to prepare students with the skills they need to activate their own potential and pathways to college and career readiness.

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.
