How do you instill effective systemic change and “college-ready” cultures on campus?
Structures, processes, protocols, and systems within a school have significant impact on its culture and ability to support college readiness. Over two days, you’ll learn what these terms mean; how they are interdependent; and how to design them in alignment with the mission and vision of your school. We will analyze examples of how a school might be effectively organized to assist both students and staff in being successful in developing a college-ready culture.
Participants will become familiar with the change process, and what to anticipate when a school concentrates its efforts to reorganize the structures, processes, protocols and systems to strategically plan and give purposeful meaning to all the efforts adults are making to improve performance for all students.
Path to Better Teaching
The AVID Path series features a rigorous curriculum that promotes student achievement at the highest levels. You could say it’s the pathway to student success. Based on the teacher-developed, classroom-proven AVID program, the series offers guides and materials for teachers, administrators, academic counselors, career center advisors, and anyone else who wants to help students fulfill their potential and get to college.
AVID Center provides two-day workshops for content teachers in English, mathematics, science, history-social science, English Language Learners, and Student Success Path Training using AVID’s Path materials.
