AVID Secondary

AVID Secondary is for students in grades 6–12. It equips teachers and schools with what they need to help students succeed on a path to college and career success. AVID has the ability to impact students in the AVID Elective class and all students throughout the campus. AVID impacts 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 have learned at AVID training back to any classroom to help all students, not just those in the AVID Elective, to become more college- and career-ready. Through the AVID Elective course, students receive the additional academic, social, and emotional support that will help them succeed in their school’s most rigorous courses. The infrastructure of AVID success is developed at the school site level. While AVID Center staff provide technical support, ongoing professional learning, and consultative/collaborative assistance, the external staff (AVID Center employees) are supplemental to AVID success in the district and in the schools.

AVID Elementary

AVID Elementary is for grades preK–6. By teaching and reinforcing academic behaviors and higher-level thinking at a young age, AVID Elementary teachers create a ripple effect in later grades and help close opportunity gaps before they begin. Elementary students develop the academic habits they will need to be successful in middle school, high school, and college, in an age-appropriate and challenging way. Students learn about organization, study skills, communication, and self-advocacy. AVID Elementary students take focused notes and answer and ask high-level questions that go beyond routine answers. The strong college and career readiness culture on an AVID Elementary campus encourages students to think about their college and career plans. Schools intentionally display college memorabilia, and teachers discuss how college is different than the K–12 educational experience. College and careers are no longer foreign concepts to students, and teachers provide the academic foundation students need in order to be on a path toward college and career success. Schools begin AVID Elementary by training teachers in the initial implementation grade level(s).
