student/teacher relationships• Creates a positive peer group for students• Develops a sense of hope for personal achievement gained

through hard work and determination

• The AVID Elective is the core of AVID Secondary. It targets students in the academic middle– B, C, and even D students

• AVID places these students on the college track, requiring them to enroll in the most rigorous courses that are appropriate for them
