Creating Engaging and Rigorous Classrooms (2024–25)
The Creating Engaging and Rigorous Classrooms Community of Practice engages all elementary through postsecondary educators and site leaders to scaffold student success with rigorous content. This course lays the foundation that allows students to access rigorous coursework and content. Educators will learn how to use Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading (WICOR®) student-centered instructional practices and explore the framework of AVID Digital Learning: The 4 A’s® to meaningfully integrate digital strategies to differentiate instruction and increase student agency. Participants will learn strategies to build connected communities through relational capacity activities to foster supportive and equitable learning spaces. All strategies, digital activities, and digital tools experienced in this Community of Practice can be leveraged in face-to-face, blended, or virtual learning environments.
