The Heartland Education Foundation is proud to continue investing in the future of Crandall ISD by sponsoring middle school and high school teachers to attend last week’s AVID Summer Institute in Dallas. This professional learning experience gives educators valuable tools to better equip students for academic success and lifelong achievement.
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a nationally recognized program that helps students develop skills in organization, time management, critical thinking, and collaboration. The program focuses on preparing students—particularly those in the academic middle—for college, career, and life success by providing them with the strategies and support needed to thrive in rigorous coursework.
Thanks to Heartland’s full sponsorship, Crandall ISD teachers were able to participate in intensive training sessions, collaborate with fellow educators, and gain new approaches to engage and empower students in the classroom. The knowledge and strategies they bring back will directly benefit students across the district, helping them build confidence, set goals, and realize their full potential.
“At Heartland, we believe that investing in educators is one of the most powerful ways to impact students,” said Foundation representatives. “We are proud to partner with Crandall ISD to strengthen teaching, support learning, and help students build bright futures.”
With the new school year just around the corner, Heartland looks forward to seeing the positive impact these dedicated educators will have on students across Crandall ISD. The foundation remains committed to supporting opportunities that help every student succeed.
