AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. It is a program designed to help underachieving students prepare for and succeed in colleges and universities. Students in the program commit themselves to prepare for college. AVID offers a rigorous program of instruction in different academic skills as well as college level entry skills.
The AVID program teaches students how to collaborate, study, read for content, improve writing skills, take notes, stay organized, set goals, take tests, and manage time, to name a few. Students participate in tutorials led by themselves under the supervision of tutors who use skillful questioning to bring students to a higher level of understanding. They are expected to maintain an organized binder for all of their classes. In addition, students should be taking at least ten pages of Cornell Notes each week.
The three main components of AVID are academic instruction, tutorial support, and motivational activities.
