5. Step 1: Build a strong Site Team (ess. 11.1 and 11.6) -The 4 day training taught us many lessons but the strongest point of those lessons is that a movement needs a strong core. -As we move up to DEMO status we need to show off our school to the rest of the world. -The best way to do that is to have a strong, site team that is vested not only in AVID but in the success of our students in our school.

6. Step 1: Build a strong Site Team (ess. 11.1 and 11. 6) -The first step is this meeting itself. The mysticism of AVID is long gone but now there exists a slight sense of complacency. -A great site team that delegates the work of AVID would help build the community of AVID within the school.

7. Step 1: Build a strong Site Team (ess. 11.1 and 11. 6) -This strong team has to be built by all of the stakeholders. -So this means that we have to use our professionalism and irresistible charm to bring the parents in and make them part of the AVID site team.
