AVID Bay Region IV Workshops/Events

AVID Road Trip Nation Training

For Teachers of 9th and 10th grade students

The goals of the Roadtrip Nation Experience are:

• Increase relevance in students’ educational experience by connecting them to the real world via RTN experiential-learning programs and engaging multi-media content.
  
• Broaden student exposure to pathways and opportunities that relate to their individual passions and interests.
  
• Develop students’ 21st century skills by leveraging RTN programs and resources that guide them in researching, project management, communication, teamwork, leadership, as well as technology and written communication skills.

What Region 4 AVID teachers and students had to say about the experience:

• “My AVID students discovered who they really are because of the RTN program.”
  
• “Through the RTN experience the doors of exploration have been opened to new possibilities for our youth.”
  
• “It opened my eyes to the real world.”
  
• “I discovered the true path to my future.”
  
• “It helped me discover things about myself.”
  
• “The RTN book has helped me so much, I feel like I have the confidence to do and say what I want to do.”

No charge for this event.

Region 4 will reimburse for one substitute up to $150 per site.
