ONLINE RESOURCES FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

Our experienced educators have compiled a range of publicly available material to support teachers, parents, and guardians across Australia, who facilitate student learning each and every day. AVIDspiration! is here to assist you in providing distance learning where this is necessary and have collated some online resources, many of which have been recently shared on social media to support teachers across the globe.

Given the unprecedented challenges presented by COVID-19, we want to express our thanks to all educators and support staff in our AVID schools for their unrelenting efforts to protect the health and wellbeing of students and staff and to continue to facilitate student learning.

It has empowered me to make a difference for my students’ learning environment to create more student success in the classroom

This training has re-invigorated me in terms of my practice, confirmed that I am already practicing many of these strategies and given me the confidence to not only try more strategies but also to show others how to use them in their classrooms
