Students in Ms. Mimbs's 8th grade ELA class learned how to annotate a text for a purpose using AVID's Marking the Text Strategy. This will help students as they prepare for a class debate later this week. #WICOR @AVID4College @nelmsclass @RakoMorrissey @FultonZone5 @RebeccaSWms

College degrees can help break the cycle of generational poverty, empower people to cope with life challenges, and in turn help them live more fulfilling lives. Are you ready to help your students be limitless? youtube.com/watch?v=T3d4XesL… #SchoolLeaders #Superintendents #Students

A new school year means new friends, new teachers, and new learning. Approach this this year with the confidence of knowing that, as a student, you are the curator of your journey, and your teachers are dedicated to ensuring your success. #LetsGoFurtherTogether #GoFurtherWithAVID

Do you build in time for "noteworking" in your classes? Giving students time to compare notes and discuss helps them refine and deepen their learning with peers. Give it a try! #ThisIsAVID #EdChat
Great "Noteworking" sessions in AVID7 and AVID8 elective classes are happening! #proudAVIDmom #ThisIsAVID #Limitless #collegebound

Educators: The first day of school is an amazing opportunity. What can you do on Day 1 that has your kids running back to you on Day 2? We can’t forget: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” Make the first day count! #FutureReady

My heart goes out to all the students, families and educators currently struggling through anxiety due to the ridiculous amount of testing required & consequently the loss of time and joy of learning. Accountability is a good thing, AND there is a better way. #Balance
