Room for Growth
Room for Growth
We have room for growth in having all of our teachers identify WICOR in their lesson plans on a weekly basis. Our teachers already use WICOR in their classrooms but we would like to have it specifically written in the lesson plans.
We would like to continue to track AVID strategy use and share this data with the staff to determine future professional development.
Next year, we have plans already in place to have school-wide planners. Currently it is for AVID elective students and freshmen only.
