AVID works and we can prove it. Decades of measuring site- and student-level outcomes, along with numerous third-party research and case studies, affirm our approach. See how AVID can make a difference on your campus.
Preparing students for the future requires more than academic skill development. Learning how to regulate emotions, effectively handle pressure, make tough decisions, and respond to challenges are skills students can take with them wherever they go in life.
AVID supports students’ social and emotional learning (SEL) through purposefully developing educator responsiveness to students’ needs, supporting students to pursue their goals, and empowering them to leverage their college and career readiness.
Social and emotional learning skills are future-ready skills. The ability to thrive in college, careers, and life requires self-understanding, self-advocacy, knowing how to build and maintain relationships, and responsible decision-making.
AVID strategies and resources support educators in creating an environment that builds student success through relationships.
