Simply, AVID trains educators to use proven practices in order to prepare students for success in high school, college, and a career, especially students trafitionally underrepresented in higher education.
How AVID Works
AVID brings research‐based strategies and curriculum to educational institutions in elementary, secondary, and higher education. The AVID System annually provides more than 30,000 educators with training and methodologies that develop students’ critical thinking, literacy, and math skills across all content areas throughout the entire campus, in what we call Schoolwide AVID.
AVID:
Teaches skills and behaviors for academic success
Provides intensive support with tutorials and strong student/teacher relationships
Creates a positive peer group for students
Develops a sense of hope for personal achievement gained through hard work and determination
As a result, policy makers and educators now consider AVID's mission to be an essential strategy for closing the achievement gap, making college access and success available to all students.
