  • Tommy Stokes, AVID Program Specialist
    Apr 10 2024

    Our guest today is an incredibly popular and knowledgeable member of the RIMS AVID team. Tommy Stokes has known since sixth grade that he was going to be a teacher when Miss Finney taught him AVID stuff before there was even AVID. In seventh grade Mr. Fratt made him want to be a history teacher. And in 11th grade he met Mr. Tibbels, who helped shape him into the teacher who knew every student and their stories. He started teaching at Moreno Valley High School in 1998, where he was a baseball coach, an AVID teacher, and an AVID coordinator.

  • Tracy Chambers, Assistant Superintendent of Education Support Services
    Feb 15 2024

    Tracy comes to us at SBCSS from Hemet Unified, where she was the Assistant Superintendent of educational services for six years. The 10 years before that she held all sorts of leadership roles from assistant principal to principal to Director of Professional Development. Prior to her time with Hemet Unified she was an elementary school teacher and site based instructional coach in Palm Springs Unified. Tracy brings such a passion for students and an incredible wealth of knowledge to her position. One of the things that our team first notice about her is that she has a definite love for all things AVID. The second thing we notice is that she has a pretty fantastic sense of humor. We are absolutely thrilled to have Tracy as our guest today. And we know after this episode, you will understand why the RIME AVID team is so crazy about this new addition to the county superintendents office.

    May 24 2023

    Today's episode is a conversation with Dr. Kari Penny, the Avid District Leader for Desert Sands Unified School District. Keri's passion for AVID and the success of all students is obvious. When given any chance at all to talk about AVID you simply cannot rein her in. Kari is the glue that keeps AVID going strong in the district, the biggest cheerleader and the driver of the AVID bus at Desert Sands.
