AVID ElevateXP transforms conceptual understandings into usable strategies that are intentional, purposeful, and replicable and that lead to student success. AVID ElevateXP brings educators together to learn how to implement engaging activities in their classrooms, raise their level of commitment to student success, and thereby produce a learning environment where all students are equipped to tackle complex issues, problems, and information. AVID ElevateXP is a virtual, modular professional learning experience.
This professional learning experience includes interactive online learning and networking that will require you to have access to different technology tools and be an active participant with your live facilitator and colleagues. Your participation is contingent upon access to AVID technology platforms and tools. Please review the checklist below to make sure that you have everything you need before starting your journey.
