At AVID, we know that ongoing professional development is key to fostering growth for both educators and students—something we’ve been committed to for over 45 years. Our Professional Learning Journeys are designed to support your unique learning needs, helping you build on your current knowledge and expand your skillset. Through our Communities of Practice (CoPs)—collaborative groups of educators who share common goals and challenges—we offer engaging and relevant professional learning tailored to meet diverse learning styles and schedules. This approach allows you to choose a pathway that aligns with your professional goals and the priorities of your school or district.
We recognize the importance of professional learning experiences that are relevant and meaningful to your role. For those new to AVID, we offer foundational learning opportunities to help you build a solid understanding of AVID strategies and their application in the classroom.
Start Your Journey with AVID’s Foundational Communities of Practice
For educators who are new to AVID, a Foundational CoP provides an essential introduction to AVID strategies, aligned to education standards and key teaching and learning skills. This beginning stage gives you the tools you need to create an impact in your classroom, while also allowing you to connect with other educators from around the world.
Deepen Your Knowledge with AVID’s Year 2+ Communities of Practice
As you continue to grow professionally, AVID’s Year 2+ CoPs offer opportunities for deeper learning. These pathways focus on advanced content and strategies, supporting your development as your professional needs evolve. Each year, you can select a path that best supports your role, ensuring that the learning remains aligned with both your personal growth and your school or district priorities.
Use the AVID Professional Learning Guide to Navigate Your Journey
