Course Description

Credit Validation for AVID Participants Only

AVID District Director Leadership (DDL) 1 is the first professional learning experience of the four-part District Director Leadership series. This 6-hour learning experience establishes the foundation for the 1-year DDL professional learning journey. Participants will be introduced to the AVID College and Career Readiness Framework as a driver for AVID implementation and explore how the Continuous Improvement Cycle (Plan– Do–Study–Act) supports an increasingly impactful implementation over time. Team members will investigate the five district leadership priorities for AVID implementation (goal alignment, coaching implementation, professional learning, progress monitoring, and strategic collaboration and communication), which will be deepened and reinforced in the remainder of the DDL learning journey. Select foundational AVID implementation resources will be introduced with a focus on strategic use among AVID leaders.
