At Enchanted Hills Elementary we practice AVID skills and strategies to be successful.

Components of AVID Elementary that we integrate and incorporate:

Goal Setting, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Student Agency, and Student-Led Conferences. These focus areas are designed to empower our students, enhance their engagement, and support their academic and personal growth.

Key Focus Areas for 2024-25:

1. Goal Setting: Encourage students to set and track personal and academic goals, fostering a sense of ownership over their learning.

2. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL): Integrate SEL practices to support students' emotional well-being and resilience.

3. Student Agency: Develop opportunities for students to have a voice in their learning process and take active roles in their education.

4. Student-Led Conferences: Implement student-led conferences to allow students to take the lead in discussing their progress and goals with their parents and teachers.

We emphasize the importance of:

• Student Success Skills – encompassing communication skills (e.g. listening, speaking, writing), self-advocacy skills, and study skills.

• Organizational Skills – both mental and physical; students are given organizational tools, as well as time management, goal-setting, and note-taking strategies.

• WICOR Lessons and L-WICOR Lessons – emphasize instruction on writing to learn, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading to learn in all content areas.

• Partnerships – among students, classrooms, grade levels, schools, feeder patterns, families and communities
