Welcome to my new website!
AVID is a program designed to inspire the average student to choose a college-preparatory path. It is designed to help students in the middle prepare for and succeed in colleges and universities. Students in the program commit themselves to improvement and preparation for college. AVID offers a rigorous program of instruction in academic "survival skills." The AVID program teaches the student how to study, read for content, take Cornell Notes, and manage time. Students participate in collaborative study groups or tutorials led by tutors who use skillful questioning to bring students to a higher level of understanding.
