Summer Institute 2026: Dates 2-4 December
As AVID Australia’s biggest networking and professional learning event of the year, Summer Institute inspires educators from across Australia to enhance their teaching practice and support students to achieve their potential.
Our 2025 Summer Institute celebrated 15 years in Australia and 45 years in the USA of AVID.
Over three days, educators will learn and practise evidence-informed, high-engagement teaching strategies and best instructional practices, led by experienced Australian and US Staff Developers.
Educators will come away from Summer Institute with resources to cultivate and maintain a learning system that insists on rigour, breaks down barriers and advocates for students.
Educators will be empowered through collective efficacy to nurture and grow students’ post-secondary and career readiness skills by coaching them to leverage student agency, opportunity knowledge and rigorous academic preparedness.
