AVID Excel
Prerequisites
Long Term English Learner status (5 or more years in U.S.), WIDA 3-4 ranges, recruitment/application and interview process
Note
This course is an elective designated for Long Term English learners who want to ensure college readiness. This three-year program that feeds into a four-year high school AVID elective is built on teacher best practices, academic language acquisition routines and significant supports so ensure students are ready to take on rigorous courses in the future. Similar to the structures of the AVID Elective, AVID Excel students are required to take part in a recruitment process and commit to the regiment determined by national programming. Not only will Excel students continue to build upon their English language, but they will be provided rigorous course content, opportunity knowledge about college and careers, and learn about the important of their student agency. Excel candidates must be recommended by the ACPS Office of English Learners based on targeted criteria.
