Upon completion of professional learning, educators will have the opportunity to receive a digital badge representing their learning experience.
The Instructional Coaches and Elective Educators Community of Practice is designed to engage instructional coaches and elective educators of grades 6–12 (for example, teachers of art, world languages, or music) in the use of AVID instructional practices. This training is not for teachers of the AVID Elective. Participants will engage in Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading (WICOR®) instructional strategies through a hands-on approach to ensure students’ engagement, access to rigor, and future readiness and success. This experience will provide tools to connect with a diverse population of learners. All strategies, digital activities, and digital tools experienced can be leveraged in face-to-face, blended, or virtual learning environments.
This Community of Practice requires all participants to have their own device or laptop that can connect to the internet. Participants must bring an acceptable device, power cord, and earbuds/headphones with them to the session. 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 preferred web browsers (Chrome or Firefox) 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.
