My biggest challenge this year is not getting responses to questions that I send out. I don't know what I don't know so nothing gets done.

We had a successful fundraiser. Made a $2,100 profit. Yay! Now, if I could have only had more students participate (38 students of 115 sold items), we could have covered the expense for a charter bus (for a fieldtrip).
Our biggest challenge is making sure we're on the same page with admin about recruitment and what students fit the AVID profile.

The biggest challenge I have this year is getting all members to actively participate in the PLC and share ideas, lessons, DLT's, etc... and actually being "present" when we meet. Some members are late or absent and when they do attend, they are not engaged or present!

We have several AVID site team members on our SLT this year. That was an area of focus based on our CCI. We are conducting walk throughs to focus on using AVID instructional strategies. We have hosted a career panel and will be conducting other activities throughout the year. Finding time for site team to meet has been challenging since teachers are overwhelmed. Running successful tutorials especially at 9th grade level has been challenging without full compliment of tutors.

1- GLOWS- a lot of interest in AVID, larger 9th and 10th grade class and students coming to ask about enrollment.  There has also been a lot of support from admin/counselors this year.

2-GROWS- tutorials have not been easy since COVID.  Students do not seem to have the same notes they did prior, more online, more packets, more slides and it is challenging to get students to create quality TRFs/CSGs. I find myself dreading this time of class now. I am also torn a bit with the price of college and many of my students not getting a lot of aid (last year, knowing this year will be similar).  My counselors really push students (even those with high GPAs) to just got to CC since it is "free".

Glows: We have had college admissions counselor presentations in the theatre every week or so.

Grows: Biggest challenge has been engaging students who have been misplaced in AVID.

Glow: The kids are great - enthusiastic and willing. Our TOSA is very supportive!

Grow: I am a singleton :( no team of which to speak.

1.  We started implementing AVID across the curriculum. Woohoo!!!
2. Finding time to meet as a team is very difficult between PLC time and people’s schedules.

1) Positive: I am getting assistance and support from the School Site for the most part and shout-out to Virginia for all the help! Without people's support I probably would be drowning in stress.

2)Challenges: Sooo many. Many of our AVID kids do not fit the AVID profile at all, student buy-in on taking notes is low, I am struggling to support my other AVID teachers adequately, and there arent enough hours in the week to get everything done.

Going well - digital CNQS through OneNote for classes each week.

Obstacles - site consistency with recruitment, policies, rosters, goals, and direction

# data[].attributes.body
What is going well is that I have wonderful teachers who are very comfortable with teaching AVID and AVID Excel; AVID excel classes are small this year too; and teachers are excited to support the students.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge is meeting time. Teachers are assigned a 1/6 and are stretched a bit.

GLOW: One area that is going well this year with AVID is the excitement and engagement we are receiving from our 8th grade students in AVID and AVID Excel as they work on their college and career projects.

GROW: We have 2 brand new AVID teachers this year who are learning the complexities of having 2 or more preps and AVID and school spirit (AVID and College especially) is not going very well this year.

GLOW - Having an AVID colleague teaching the Junior class. She has adjusted well after having been out of the AVID world for quite some time.

GROW - The need for peer / college tutors. Tutorial sessions are not where they should be.

# data[].attributes.body
AVID at our site has continuously been shuffled to different staff members over the last few years here and is a bit of a "hot potato". The two of us who teach it this year are on temp contracts (again) and might not be at our school or in the district in a year. It's hard to build a program under those conditions. On top of that meeting and collaborating with my AVID colleague has also been a challenge because we are in different departments and don't get PLC time to meet with one another.

Positive - I love my colleague. He was an AVID student, tutor and now teacher. He's great and we are building a good culture in our classes. Our first tutor just started as well.

Glow: We are now offering AVID 7/8 with our middle school students.

Grow: We are an online, 7-12th grade, course-based independent studies program on a quarter system. The challenge is trying to integrate AVID schoolwide as we define ourselves as a new school.

1) Glows - One area that is going well is student engagement.
2) Grows - Besides finding tutors for my site, my biggest challenge is getting used to the curriculum since this is my first year teaching AVID Excel.

GLOW: reset - Started over after fall break. Reteaching Cornell Notes and Tutorials. We've had tutors since the beginning of the school year, including peer tutors, so we've been fortunate in building bonds.
GROW: establishing time to work schoolwide to share AVID strategies.
