The AVID College and Career Readiness Framework is designed to equip students with the essential skills, behaviors, and mindset needed to succeed in higher education and their future careers. It focuses on developing critical thinking, effective communication, organization, and study strategies, while fostering a growth mindset and perseverance. Through a rigorous curriculum, students engage in activities that promote inquiry, collaboration, and problem-solving. This framework ensures that students are not only academically prepared but also have the tools to navigate and excel in the challenges of college and the workforce.

Defined:
The AVID College and Career Readiness Framework: The AVID College and Career Readiness Framework helps educators reframe how they view students’ potential and reframe how they create a learning ecosystem with existing talent, resources, and systems.
What it Means:
Four important domains exist in the AVID Program - Instruction, Systems, Leadership, Culture.
The yellow Relational Capacity is necessary for AVID to work.
What students need is the intentional support and mentoring in three major areas that help them become confident individuals who can successfully navigate life and career:
Rigorous Academic Preparedness: Students develop academic skills and can successfully complete rigorous college and career preparatory curriculum and experiences.
Opportunity Knowledge: Students research opportunities, set goals, make choices that support their long-term aspirations, and successfully navigate transitions to the next level.
Student Agency: Students believe in themselves and act intentionally to build relationships, persist through obstacles, and activate their academic, social, emotional, and professional knowledge and skills to reach their potential.
What Educators do play an important role in student success. To bring about this transformation, educators must:
Insist on Rigor: Educators provide learning experiences in which every student is challenged, is engaged, and develops a greater ownership of their learning through increasingly complex levels of understanding.
Break Down Barriers: Educators actively identify and work to eliminate structural and perceptual barriers that limit students’ access to relevant and challenging learning opportunities.
Align the Work: Educators increasingly align policies, practices, and beliefs to the shared vision of all students succeeding in college, career, and life.
Advocate for Students: Educators extend social, emotional, and academic support to students and challenge policies, practices, or beliefs that limit potential.
