The CCI is a tool to help schools implement the 4 AVID Schoolwide Domains: Instruction, Systems, Leadership, and Culture.
Instruction: Instruction occurs when teachers school-wide utilize AVID strategies, other best teaching strategies and tools, to ensure college and career readiness for all students.
Systems: AVID is schoolwide when systems are in place that support governance, curriculum and instruction, data collection and analysis, professional learning, and student and parent outreach to ensure college and career readiness for all students.
Leadership: AVID is schoolwide when the leadership sets the vision and tone that promotes college and career readiness and high expectations for all students.
Culture: AVID Schoolwide culture is evident when the AVID philosophy shifts beliefs and behaviors resulting in more students meeting college and career readiness requirements.
Each year the Site Team undertakes the implementation of the four Domains within the classroom and the culture of the school. Using the CCI helps to ensure the fidelity of the AVID system within the school building. The Site Team is also tasked with collecting authentic evidence to document the progress in each Domain annually. At the end of each year, the District Director reviews, approves, and submits the CCI in May to the AVID Center to determine certification level.
