Instructional Coaches and Elective Educators

This training is not for teachers of the AVID Elective course. Educators will participate in Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading (WICOR^®) instructional strategies through a hands-on approach to ensure students’ engagement, access to rigor, and college success.

Participants will engage in both synchronous and semi-synchronous learning. All strategies, digital activities, and digital tools experienced can be leveraged to connect with a diverse population of learners in face-to-face or virtual learning environments.
