As a beginner to the AVID program and this digital experience, I would like to say my professional development has been enhanced so much!  The various components of the program were clearly defined and the breakout sessions with our colleagues were so informational and enlightening.  The e-binder will be an invaluable resource as we begin the full implementation of AVID at our high school this fall.

“I truly felt like I got the FULL AVID experience through XP! I was a little nervous about what it would look like, but truly loved it as I always do! I also really liked the asynchronous time. I felt like this was one of the first times I was able to sit and plan for the upcoming year.”

"Innovative, engaging, informative, interactive. This training is by far the best one I have ever been in. Trainings tend to get boring, overwhelming, and just information overload without any time to process and really work through the information. I am leaving this training with a level of understanding that will allow me to go back through and really understand how to go about it! With the ebinder I know I will actually go back and go through the steps of the note taking process."

A 40 year veteran teacher said it was the best training she had been to and her excitement was contagious.

AMAZING! They were able to give personal examples of utilizing different WICOR strategies all while using technology. They were both willing to help and go with the flow of technology malfunctions. Each activity we completed, we were able to identify how we used the WICOR in the activity.

so excited to see how I can use collaboration with my sites and staff!

This was an incredible opportunity. I never thought that a virtual/digital experience could be engaging like in-person...but I was WRONG!!!! I am feeling positive that I can fully engage my students in the future if we ever end up in a quarantine crisis again.

Participants love all the new digital tools, but still understand learning first, tools second. :)

So many positives statements... participants are excited that they are "walking" away with ideas to implement but also building grace and understanding with how their students feel too.

This has been one of the most rewarding conferences that I have been to.  I have seen AVID implemented at a couple of schools as we prepare to implement AVID this fall.  It was so helpful to be able to learn the intricacies of AVID and then have to conceptualize and apply this learning to actual implementation.  The infomation that I have received will be essential to my role as a counselor and on the Site Team this upcoming year.  The facilitators were especially knowledgeable and 'got it' because they are counselors in the field.

"I definitely benefited from experiencing digital learning from the student point of view & from seeing how interactive an online environment can be.  This experience was MUCH more interactive & interesting than what I employed during Distance Learning as a teacher

I have really enjoyed this experience and feel it is the best AVID conference I've attended. I have gotten more out of this experience because of the required participation and scaffolded use of the eBinder.

"Exciting!! My description of my professional learning experience during this training was just that! I loved learning the new(new to me) ideas for reaching students. I came away particularly loving the digital INB, mind mapping, critical reading and the 4 squares exercises. I know that I will incorporate these into my teaching for this new school year, be it virtual or in person with my students! AVID rocks!!"

From participants: "AVID professional learning is always the best I attend.  This digital pd was relevant and timely and modeled what excellent synchronous learning should include and look like.  Our speakers were knowledgable and helpful and made online learning fun and enjoyable.  I can not say enough good things about this program and can't wait to continue through out the year."  "I had an amazing professional learning experience. I learned so many new things, such as online resources and tools to not only improve my teaching but to increase student engagement. I loved the digital binder; given the pandemic circumstance, it is definitely going to help me out so much if we are doing distance learning again in the Fall semester. I really cannot find one area that needs improvement; this was one of the best professional learning experiences I have had in a while."

I was intimidated- then overwhelmed, then exhausted, then I realized how much I had leaned both as far as content as well as skill. I am eager to incorporate bothe content and methodologies into the next year- and all the teaching yeasrs to come!

I got some great feedback after helping a participant one on one with their tech issues and then helping them make the connection between WICOR and the strategies they were already using in their own classroom.

This person--self-admitted NON-techie--paid myself and Tyrone the compliment that our coaching and encouraging helped bring her back when she grew frustrated with her struggles with new platforms. :)

Being able to connect with participants through the online platform before synchronous and during asynchronous. Lots of positive exchanges.

Participants were also very willing to help each with technical issues.
They are now more empathetic to how students feel in a virtual learning enviornment.

I had a participant who sat in the back of the room, refused to participate, and often had his arms folded. Day 1 and Day 2 I always checked in with him and he only shrugged his shoulders or said he was ok.

At the end of Day 3 he had to leave early to catch a flight and handed me his feedback card that stated, "This was one of the most rewarding and amazing trainings I've ever attended.

He wrote nothing else, lol.
