Critical Reading 1 (2016) Olathe
This was my first experience with AVID. I found the strategies to be engaging. So much in professional development courses like this, teachers are told the theory, but not the practical purpose of the strategy. I was appreciative of the things I learned.
History/Social Science Through High Engagement Strategies (2017) Dallas
This was my first experience attending a SI in Dallas. The energy with the sheer amount of people was pretty exciting. I was excited to learn more about AVID and some new strategies. I found some of the things repeated between Critical Reading and this strand, but I appreciate applying these strategies more towards Social Studies.
Implementation: Middle School and High School (2018) Dallas
I decided to take on the AVID Elective for the next school year. I was familiar with a lot of the AVID strategies at this point, but I wanted to learn more about how to make the Elective successful. The first night I was very overwhelmed with the sheer amount of things to learn. I then became less overwhelmed through the three days.
