THE ORIGIN OF AVID In 1980, bussing low-income students to San Diego’s Clairemont High School created disruption at this suburban, middle class school. Expectations were low for these students. Many assumed they lacked parental support, motivation and study habits to qualify for college. Most teachers at the school thought such students would need a watered-down curriculum to graduate. English department head and teacher Mary Catherine Swanson thought differently. She believed that if the students were willing to work hard, she could teach them the skills needed to successfully complete the rigorous courses that would prepare them for four-year universities. Today, AVID is the largest, most comprehensive college-readiness system used by schools to improve the academic preparation and performance of all students, especially those who are underrepresented in higher education institutions (Source: AVID International Center, San Diego, Ca.)

HOW AVID CAME TO SCHOOL DISTRICT U-46? “…when I arrived at U-46, I stated that there were only two programs that I didn’t believe were worth having discussion about. I believe that these two programs had plenty of evidence and we needed to adopt or implement them: 1) PBIS, which the district already had in many of schools 2) AVID, which one school had, I can’t remember which I began the rollout in 7 th and 9 th grade. The rest is history”! (Source: Dr. Jose M. Torres, Former U-46 Superintendent)

WHAT IS AVID? AVID, Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a schoolwide transformation effort focused on leadership, systems, instruction, and culture, and is designed to increase the number of students who enroll and succeed in higher education and in their lives beyond high school.

AVID’s ALIGNMENT TO FEDERAL LAW AND DISTRICT POLICIES, STRATEGIC PLAN, AND PRIORITIES • Federal ESSA Law ( Dec. 2015 ) • Equity Policy 2.250 • Educational Opportunities Policy 7.010 • U-46 Strategic Plan • I-Care Standards • Danielson Framework

AVID IS DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS PERFORMING “IN THE ACADEMIC MIDDLE” ➢ The MAP Reading percentile scores are first averaged for each student. If the average percentile is between 25 th and 75 th average percentile, then the student is considered “AVID Qualified.” ➢ Additional AVID Criteria to consider: ➢ Historically under-served in four year universities ➢ First generation college student ➢ Low-income ➢ Special circumstances ➢ AVID student enrollment should resemble the demographics of the school (e.g. gender, ethnicity) ➢ (Source: School District U-46 Assessment Office)
