• What is AVID Elementary?
     
    AVID Elementary is a foundational component of the AVID College Readiness System and supports AVID’s mission and vision to provide a comprehensive model of success for all students, from elementary through higher education.  AVID Elementary is embedded into the daily instruction of our classrooms, in grades 3rd - 6th. AVID Elementary Essentials focus on the four necessary areas to ensure that all students are poised for academic success: 
     
    Components:
    Student Success Skills – encompassing communication skills (e.g. listening, speaking, writing), self-advocacy skills, note-taking strategies, critical thinking, and study skills. 

    Organizational Skills – both mental and physical; students learn to use organizational tools, as well as learn and practice skills around time management and goal-setting. 

    WICOR Lessons – emphasize instruction on writing to learn, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading to learn in all content areas. 

    Partnerships – among students, classrooms, grade levels, schools, feeder patterns, families, and communities.
