AVID Summer Institutes

The AVID Summer Institutes are professional development programs designed to train educators in the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) methodology. These institutes focus on strategies to support students in achieving higher levels of academic success, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. Participants learn effective teaching techniques, college readiness skills, and ways to foster an inclusive learning environment. The goal is to improve student engagement, boost college and career preparedness, and strengthen teachers' ability to close achievement gaps. The institutes typically include workshops, collaboration, and resource sharing to help educators implement AVID strategies effectively.
