Summary:
|
As a part of the school improvement process for comprehensive and targeted schools, Feitshans, JMS, WMS, LHS, and SSHS have engaged AVID to provide support with their school improvement efforts. AVID’s mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. AVID schools foster a safe and open culture, high expectations for teachers and students, and collaboration in all classrooms. This partnership with AVID will assist our schools in focusing on 21st Century Skills (problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy), Best Teaching Practices (writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading), Student Empowerment & Advocacy, and College & Career Readiness. All of these skills contribute to student and school success and improvement.AVID will offer the following services to each of the schools in this partnership: Coaching (Administration & Instructional Leadership Teams); Large group AVID Professional Learning; School-Specific Customized Professional Learning (Administration & School Staff); Walkthroughs with Feedback; Modeling; and Preparation Work. Additional schools may decide to contract with AVID for school improvement services as this process is still on-going.
