AVID 6th grade Survey Course
Every 6th grade student will take an AVID Survey Course to learn AVID strategies in order to be successful in all classes because Lane practices AVID Schoolwide.  All classes at Lane use WICOR strategies: Writing, Inquiry, Cooperation, Organization, and Reading.  Students are expected to use provided school planners, an organized binder, take focused notes such as Cornell Notes, and participate in collaborative thinking.  Students will also begin college and career exploration.

AVID Elective Students in 7th and 8th grades
AVID program participants must choose to participate and demonstrate this choice by completing an application and interview process.  If selected, AVID students are encouraged to enroll in rigorous academic classes and in the AVID elective class, where they receive academic support. AVID students participate in college field trips, team building activities and career exploration.

AVID Curriculum
The AVID curriculum, based on over 30 years of research and rigorous standards, is developed by middle and senior high school teachers in collaboration with college professors.  It emphasizes teaching pedagogy which focuses on writing-to-learn, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading for comprehension.  This allows college preparatory classes to be accessible to all students.

AVID Tutors
Tutors are available in the AVID elective class on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  They facilitate student access to rigorous curriculum.  Tutors also serve as role models, as many are students from local colleges and universities or are active community members.  Tutors are trained to provide academic support.   

In this week's PPS Pulse: Two Franklin High teachers win significant awards; Lincoln opens 50-year-old time capsule

Dear PPS Community,

It is with a sense of optimism and encouragement that I am sharing with you news about something I believe will have a lasting impact on the future of our school system and our ability to better serve our students. The Oregon Legislature has approved, and Gov. Kate Brown has signed, the Student Success Act, an investment package projected to provide public schools throughout the state with approximately $1 billion a year in additional funding.

Two teachers at Franklin High School have won significant awards for their service to students. Mercedes Munoz won an Oregon Regional Teacher of the Year Award, and Anne McHugh won a Presidential Innovation Award for the Pacific Northwest from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Over the last year there has been a groundswell of activity around improving student health and wellness in Portland Public Schools. Aided by partnerships that have resulted in PPS receiving three grants totaling about $3 million, the district’s Health Education and Student Support Services teams have been able to bring innovative programming and new staff to PPS’s health education efforts.
