AVID—Advancement Via Individual Determination—fosters a safe and open culture, high expectations for teachers and students, and collaboration in all classrooms.

 

Our nation’s schools are full of students who possess a desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard, but many of them do not truly have the opportunity to be college-ready. These are often the students who will be the first in their families to attend college and are from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education. AVID Secondary equips teachers and schools with what they need to help these students succeed on a path to college and career success.

 

To address this need, AVID has developed the AVID Elective course. For one period a day, students receive the additional academic, social, and emotional support that will help them succeed in their school’s most rigorous courses. 

 

The power of AVID Secondary is the ability to impact students in the AVID Elective class and all students throughout the campus. AVID Secondary can have an effect on the entire school by providing classroom activities, teaching practices, and academic behaviors that can be incorporated into any classroom to improve engagement and success for all students. Teachers can take what they've learned at AVID training back to any classroom to help all students, not just those in AVID, to become more college- and career-ready. 

 

 

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a global nonprofit organization that holds students accountable to the highest standards, providing academic and social support to help them rise to the challenge. AVID brings research-based curriculum and strategies to students through professional learning opportunities, supporting their Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading skills daily. The AVID elective is an integral part of the system, providing focused support and enrichment. The AVID College Readiness System prepares all students for post-secondary education and careers.
