WHEREAS, Bedichek Middle School in Austin earned designation | ||
as an AVID National Demonstration School on February 4, 2015; and | ||
WHEREAS, Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID, | ||
is a college readiness program designed to increase the academic | ||
performance of underperforming students and make college | ||
enrollment more attainable; participating students learn | ||
organizational and study skills, such as the Cornell note-taking | ||
style, and practice critical thinking and other techniques that | ||
promote academic success; and | ||
WHEREAS, Bedichek Middle School has seen continuing positive | ||
results since implementing the AVID program; as one of 140 | ||
demonstration schools in the nation, Bedichek will serve as an | ||
example of how the system works on a day-to-day basis and will be | ||
visited by educators from other schools who wish to put the AVID | ||
program into action; the school has been qualified to demonstrate | ||
AVID strategies for three years, the highest level of certification | ||
a campus can receive; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Bedichek AVID program is coordinated by Mariza | ||
Rebmann and Danielle Loftin and benefits from the outstanding | ||
support of the school's faculty and staff, led by Principal Daniel | ||
Diehl; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through its implementation of the AVID program, | ||
Bedichek Middle School has demonstrated its strong commitment to | ||
academic excellence and college readiness, and the campus's | ||
accomplishments are making a positive and lasting difference in the | ||
lives of its students; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Bedichek Middle School on earning | ||
designation as an AVID National Demonstration School and extend to | ||
its students, faculty, and staff sincere best wishes for continued | ||
success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the school as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
