Learning relies on relationships.

An ideal learning environment is possible when students feel cared for and seen.

Supportive communities are the foundations for thriving learning cultures. Belonging is an essential human need. Our schools and classrooms must be places where relationships are forged on respect, trust, and authenticity—student to student, educator to educator, and educator to student. AVID calls this concept relational capacity, and it is essential for ensuring every student can reach their full potential.
