AVID DigitalXP: Instructional Practices

The AVID DigitalXP™ Instructional Practices badge represents a professional learning opportunity that exposes participants to strategies that engage and challenge students to seek rigor, think critically, collaborate to create solutions, and take ownership of their learning. Participants will engage in core practices such as culturally relevant teaching, digital integrations, and academic language and literacy in a virtual setting. Strategies will be modeled, practiced, and differentiated for elementary and secondary leaders. Synchronous learning will be split between a Community of Practice and each school’s AVID Leadership team (Site Team). Asynchronous learning activities are designed to deepen and broaden everyone’s learning pathway. After engaging in this 17-hour experience, participants will be able to: • Provide differentiated instruction for all students in order to create an environment that promotes a culture of student agency, rigorous academic preparedness, and opportunity knowledge to build college and career readiness. • Utilize the most current AVID curriculum and WICOR strategies to facilitate access to rigorous content. • Model and blend high impact strategies in writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading with best practice digital pedagogy to engage students in safe, collaborative, and self-directed learning experiences. • Model and apply growth-mindset practices, which impact students’ attitudes and beliefs about using technology, to build and maintain a positive culture for the classroom.
