With the tools and resources that we were given at the AVID Summer Institute, I could see more and more teachers at MHS becoming AVID orientated. Eventually, we can become an AVID school-wide school! #AVID4Possibility
Hi fellow educators! I’m excited to announce that I’ll be attending the AVID Summer Institute with our fabulous site team from MHS! I’m excited to learn how we can continue the process of implementing AVID school wide especially through a Math lens! #AVID4Possibility#BPND
Favorite book is so tough! So many influential books in my life. Lately, my favorite book series is “The Wheel of Time” by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson! @Mainlandhigh#whatsyourchapter
A7: Collective efficacy is a huge part of disrupting poverty. Not only does it increase student achievement, but it allows for the quick flow of ideas and resources between fellow teachers that can disrupt poverty. #mhspln
A5: It is amazing how a simple handshake w/ a smile or greeting by the door can be used as a tool for creating relationships. One of my favorites. #mhspln
A4: Some of my students that live in poverty don’t turn in their work. After I realized that it was a resource issue, I extended time on assignments or allowed time in class to use computers #mhspln
Q3: I believe that students can feel defeated about living in poverty. Like if the world was working against them. That’s why support and encouragement can be a game changer for our kids #mhspln
A1:I believe that Mainland holds students to the same standards and high expectations of all the other schools in the area. We encourage our students to take the rigorous courses and activities #mhspln
