13. Student Achievement: Reading and Math Strategies
In addition to AVID Strategies, all teachers will focus on giving Wise Academic Feedback to students to advance learning.
Feedback to students can have a powerful influence on their learning. Hattie and Timperley (2007) analyze how the type of feedback and the way it is delivered can have differential effects. “It is closing the gap between where students are and where they are aiming to be that leads to the power of feedback.” (p.90)
Wise Feedback is: Positive, Specific, given with High Expectations and Assurance

14. Field School Climate

15. Field School Climate Goal and Strategies
