Section C - 2 Questions Addressing Innovation Selected 2. In what other school transformation strategies has your school been engaged and its/their status: Describe any previous or existing strategies your school has implemented. AVID can be used as a stand-alone school transformation model or as the cornerstone supporting a multi-faceted strategy.

Section C - 3 Questions Addressing Innovation Selected 3. Describe the capacity your LEA/school has to ensure successful implementation: Successful AVID implementation requires the following capacities: 1.Leadership at the district and school levels committed to implementing AVID with fidelity 2.An AVID Site Team for each school comprised of an Administrator, AVID Coordinator/Teacher, Core Subject Teachers, and a School Counselor 3.Attendance at one of AVID’s Summer Institutes offered around the country, including Chicago and Dallas 4.The addition of the AVID Elective to the Master Calendar 5.AVID students recruited and selected to begin in Fall Tutors recruited and trained to assist in AVID Elective class 7.Commitment to incorporating AVID methodologies in content area classes across the school

For further support, please see AVID Implementation Planning Guide for a detailed implementation timeline and additional capacity requirements.

Section C - 4 Questions Addressing Innovation Selected 4. How will you integrate the specific Innovative Program into your school culture and current transformation plan/Scope of Work? AVID creates a school-wide college-going culture: School and district leaders set the vision and the tone that promotes college readiness and high expectations for all students. Trained Site Team members mentor and support all teachers in implementing AVID strategies, methodologies and resource materials so all students in the school benefit. All classrooms are modeled on the AVID classroom to increase student achievement and parent engagement across the entire school. AVID division staff and consultants provide ongoing coaching, training and support to transform the culture.

Section C - 6 Questions Addressing Innovation Selected 6. How will you sustain this Innovative Program post RttT? AVID is an extremely cost-effective solution that embeds sustainability into a school through the methodologies and professional development that become part of the school culture. Implementation costs are frontloaded during the first three years of implementation so that sustaining the program in the long run is affordable. Funding sources can be used to sustain AVID, such as Title I, Title II, School Improvement Grants, GEAR UP, and other local dollars. AVID Center helps to sustain the program by providing member schools with: Divisional training events Ongoing Site Team Support Annual Certification Process Ongoing technical assistance from Program Managers and consultants

Section C - 7 Questions Addressing Innovation Selected 7. Describe any potential challenges or barriers with the mandatory professional development and Innovative Program requirements for the framework you selected. What strategies will your LEA/school implement to overcome these potential obstacles ? In AVID’s experience there are no insurmountable barriers: AVID has developed a flexible implementation timeline to accommodate start-up in Ohio There are Summer Institutes held in Chicago and Dallas, helping to keep travel costs low The bulk of professional development takes place in the summer AVID offers numerous online training opportunities for easy access without missed class time or substitute expenses Local Program Managers and consultants can provide technical assistance and support by phone, or in-person.

Section C - 8 Questions Addressing Innovation Selected 8. How will the implementation of this Innovative Program increase college and career readiness of all students? The AVID College Readiness System was designed to increase the college- readiness of all students in a school. AVID works because it: Accelerates under achieving students into more rigorous courses Teaches academic skills not targeted in other classes Provides intensive support with in-class tutors Creates a positive peer group for students Develops a sense of hope for personal achievement gained through hard work and determination In Ohio AVID schools, 99.2% of AVID students are enrolled in a “College Prep” track of courses. For more information, refer to the AVID Fact Sheet, AVID Innovative Programs Symposium presentation, and Data and Resultswww.avid.org

Section C - 10 Questions Addressing Innovation Selected 10. Why should your LEA/school be awarded an Innovative Programs grant? This is your chance to shine. Tell them your story and the needs of your students. Show your enthusiasm and commitment to AVID’s proven system. Let them know why you believe in AVID to turn your school around. Remember, the 41 lowest-performing schools may have priority for these funds, so emphasize this reality if it applies.

[2] [2] Tutor partnerships with local colleges and nonprofits can reduce costs as the number of AVID elective classes increases. Middle schools with only 7 th and 8 th grades might not add a third elective class in year three so that tutor costs would be $8,640 for years two and three.

Salaries Tutors Continuing Staff Development Purchase Services Membership Fee Summer Institute Fee AVID Curriculum AVID District Professional Service Fee – New districts only *Indicates this number may vary

Budget Below are suggestions that districts or school sites might consider to offset the costs of AVID implementation: Intra-District Suggestions Scenario 1: Deploy AVID in more than one school in the district and split the cost of the AVID District Professional Service Fee of $9,000 Year 1 and $6,000 Year 2. Scenario 2: Identify and/or repurpose district funding (such as Title 1 or 2 funds, local RTTT funding, or district professional development funding that could pay the “Summer Institute Fee” or “Continuing Staff Development”) to supplement Innovative Programs grant. Collaborative Suggestions Scenario 3: Partner with two-year colleges and/or other college access programs to lower implementation costs, particularly the “Tutor Cost”. Scenario 4: Small and rural adjacent school districts, with school sites less than 300 students, could band together as a consortium of districts, perhaps through an Educational Service Center, to share implementation costs where appropriate.
