The projected cost for AVID including membership fee, training session on the implementation of the program, and materials will be $18,000. Some of these expenses can be lowered if the district chooses to involve other schools. Costs of the field trips can be lowered if we utilize the available fund raising options available. Writing grants to cover both strategies are options to be considered. Incorporating virtual field trips and video conferences options will provide a option to minimize expenses.

FirstGiving is an example of free online sources available to help with the fund- raising. AVID has a link which outlines the exact dollars a school must commit to get the program up and running. The fund-raising links can be accessed at []. The AVID link can be accessed at []. A link for writing grants can be accessed at [].

The project objectives will be evaluated based on the results of the previous year’s CRCT scores. Monthly assessments will be used to chart the student’s academic progress. These summative tools will be administered before the unit is discussed and administered at the completion of the unit. In between this time, students are given weekly probes to gauge how effectively the lesson plans are connecting with the student and if the knowledge transfers to a test. The assessments will be uploaded to thinkgate. Thinkgate is a software program which provides individual and group comparison. The data will be analyzed by teachers and re-delivery strategies will be implemented. The summative evaluation plan will incorporate authentic activities and real world connections. Students will be engaged in rigorous academic challenges which will require them to take an active role in truly understanding the content. Both a video and an academic poster session will provide evidence of the challenges and the accomplishments of the students
