This strand will engage middle school, high school, and higher education educators in how to apply rigorous disciplinary-literacy-based practices to authentic research or project-based learning experiences within every content area. Educators will experience learning that moves beyond rigor with the intentional integration of social and emotional learning, student agency, and educator agency in an AVID schoolwide environment.

This strand requires all participants to have their own device or laptop that can connect to internet access. Participants must bring an acceptable device, power cord, and earbuds/headphones with them to the strand. If a district-issued device is being used, be sure to log in to the device on the district network before attending. Device software and web browser need to be up to date.

  • Acceptable devices include laptops, Chromebooks, Surface devices, iPads, and iPad Pros.
  • Unacceptable devices include mini iPads, Kindle or Galaxy tablets, and smartphones.
