Recognizing Achievements---We build in AVID scholar of the month into our schoolwide Student of the Month recognition program. Still working on having AVID kiddos shout out their teachers who promote CCR and AVID strategies in their classes.
Recognizing college/career acceptances--Working on creating several spots to list where kids have been accepted (near office, outside of ASC's room); Principal often shouts out college acceptances on intercom in the AM (but only if students have let him know--some don't like their business spread for all to hear); in the Spring, schools where kids will actually go will go on their Senior Banners that will hang from the ceiling in our new building's halls.
WICOR Wizards---Teachers are beginning to share with our tiny Site Team some of their great lessons and activities that embed WICOR.
