AVID Site Team Meeting August 16th, 2012 Objective: Review 2012-2013 Site Team Plan and prepare for first parent meeting of the year. Please fill out the Site Team Member Questionnaire as the meeting goes on.
AVID Icebreaker/Strategy Silent Unscramble
Where did we end last year? • Students with C or better in all classes: • We impressed a Demo team with our use of AVID in the classes they saw, but we also need to increase the use of and effectiveness of WICOR strategies in all classes. • We need to increase our college going physical environment and culture also.
Where does our AVID Program stand now? • This year we have 234number of students • 54: 6th graders • 74: 7th graders • 106: 8th graders • Expectations for students: 10-15# of Cornell Notes for 7th graders, daily use of agendas, weekly participation in tutorials, no grades lower than a C, great work habits
Step 1: Build a strong Site Team (ess. 11.1 and 11.6) -The 4 day training taught us many lessons but the strongest point of those lessons is that a movement needs a strong core. -As we move up to DEMO status we need to show off our school to the rest of the world. -The best way to do that is to have a strong, site team that is vested not only in AVID but in the success of our students in our school.
Step 1: Build a strong Site Team (ess. 11.1 and 11. 6) -The first step is this meeting itself. The mysticism of AVID is long gone but now there exists a slight sense of complacency. -A great site team that delegates the work of AVID would help build the community of AVID within the school.
Step 1: Build a strong Site Team (ess. 11.1 and 11. 6) -This strong team has to be built by all of the stakeholders. -So this means that we have to use our professionalism and irresistible charm to bring the parents in and make them part of the AVID site team.
Step 2: Create successful intervention plan for students with struggling grades (ess. 4.2) • Inform teachers who AVID students are • Complete GPA Analysis/Goal setting form • Create individualized intervention plan for students in need • Open up probation meetings to all teachers
Step 3: Effectively analyze data to address skill/content gaps among students 2011-2012 CST Data Tutorials Periodic Assessment Data Content Power Standards (CFAs) Grade Tutorial Analyses (Progress Reports)
Step 4: Train staff on Philosophical Chairs and Socratic Seminars • Academic teachers will be trained through Academies • Opportunities to observe AVID students in action • AVID Elective teachers - four per semester • Academic teachers - one per semester • Calendar topics/dates used
First Parent Meeting of the Year!! • When? • What? • Why?
