Participants will analyse their current lesson planning strategies and learn to troubleshoot barriers to student learning inside the AVID Elective class. Collaborative strategies will be used to model how AVID teachers can support each other to select appropriate high engagement teaching and learning strategies that increase rigour in lesson planning and deliver effective, rigorous instruction. The intended audience for this module is AVID Elective teachers and the module is suitable for a more collaborative schoolwide peer-support model of teaching and learning support.
