am such a believer, now.”

Teacher Profile: Mr. Troy DeFeo
"After being the keynote speaker at the AVID graduation in 2011,
and a teacher watching from afar, I now see that AVID drives
students. It effects parental involvement...and it will change lives.
We all have to do our part!”

am a better teacher than I was before, too.”

“Three years ago I was starting my
first full year as a classroom teacher
and was told I needed to include an
Interactive Science Notebook into my
lessons. I was completely
overwhelmed and could not wrap my
mind around what was expected.
Now, this past weekend I presented at
a State conference CAST on how to
incorporate Science note-booking into
your lessons! Standing room only!
That is AVID. “
