AVID WICOR Showcase

Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID, is a proven learning support structure, known as WICOR , that incorporates teaching/learning methodologies in the critical areas of Writing to Learn, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading to Learn. WICOR provides a learning model that educators can use to guide students in comprehending concepts and articulating ideas at increasingly complex levels.


Marsh’s teachers have been trained in the WICOR principles and incorporate their proven strategies into their lessons. This week's WICOR spotlight is Mrs. Lopez's AVID class. Mrs. Lopez has been having her AVID students investigate college and future goals for themselves. Students wrote an essay about their first day of college and what their experience would be like. Way to go Mrs. Lopez, you are a WICOR Rock Star!!
