Our professional learning provides educators with evidence-informed strategies that can be easily incorporated into classrooms across all content areas.
Each education system within Australia provides teaching and learning frameworks to deliver their curriculum. AVID provides the “how”: continuous and targeted professional learning that gives schools evidence-informed, high-impact teaching strategies that integrates with a school strategic plan to achieve their teaching and learning goals.
