What AVID does:
Teaches motivated kids how to achieve academic and personal goals through reading, writing, inquiry, collaboration and organization. We also go on field trips and have guest speakers to enhance the learning process.

Why?
In an effort to close the achievement gap, placing the right kids in the right elective is imperative. AVID is for motivated individuals who are seemingly “stuck” in the middle and can’t seem to get out. Here are some possible reasons kids are stuck in the middle:

SED
1st generation (college graduation)
Underrepresented
Family issues: divorce, single family, moved
504/IEP
Other

In addition:
There should not be a behavior issue. If anything, they’re usually the shy/quiet one who doesn’t think they are the right kid for this class. Students can earn anywhere from Cs-As. Students who take AVID may not know how to work within the academic system due to organizational issues. AVID helps students navigate both in academic and professional skills. Despite any issue they may be dealing with, they must be motivated!
