What is AVID Elementary?
AVID Elementary, a core element of the AVID College and Career Readiness System, strives to narrow the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college and career success. The program targets grades K through 5, integrating seamlessly into daily instruction across all elementary classrooms. Grounded in the belief that a growth mindset can be taught, AVID Elementary emphasizes WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading), high expectations, rigor, and a college/career readiness culture for student success.
Components of AVID Elementary
During each stage of learning, AVID Elementary incorporates:
Student Success Skills – encompassing communication skills (e.g. listening, speaking, writing), self-advocacy skills, and study skills.
Organizational Skills – both mental and physical; students are given organizational tools, as well as time management, goal-setting, and note-taking strategies.
WICOR Lessons – emphasize instruction on writing to learn, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading to learn in all content areas.
Partnerships – among students, classrooms, grade levels, schools, feeder patterns, families and communities.
