She implemented many of the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) methodologies (www.avid.org) in her classroom and said that it was perfect because it was brain-based learning at its best. Let me know if you would like even more information on the AVID mehodologies. They are targeted at a more difficult group to teach. Thanks and good luck! Ginny Taylor |
