The AVID system accelerates student learning, uses research based methods of effective instruction, provides meaningful and motivational professional development, and acts as a catalyst for systemic reform and change.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The AVID Student<o:p></o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">AVID targets students of all levels and abilities - students who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. These are students who are capable of completing rigorous curriculum. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT></o:p></SPAN> </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The AVID Elective<o:p></o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Not only are students enrolled in their school's toughest classes, such as honors and Advanced Placement®, but also in the AVID elective. For one period a day, they learn organizational and study skills, work on critical thinking and asking probing questions, get academic help from peers and college tutors, and participate in enrichment and motivational activities that make college seem attainable. Their self-images improve, and they become academically successful leaders and role models for other students. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The AVID Curriculum<o:p></o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The AVID curriculum, based on rigorous standards, was developed by middle and senior high school teachers in collaboration with college professors. It is driven by the WICR method, which stands for writing, inquiry, collaboration, and reading. AVID curriculum is used in AVID elective classes, in content-area classes in AVID schools, and even in schools where the AVID elective is not offered.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The AVID Faculty<o:p></o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">One key to a successful AVID program is a site coordinator/teacher who is a respected site instructional leader who works well with secondary school personnel and college students and faculty, who can organize curriculum as well as activities, and who is committed to serving the needs of target students. The coordinator also works with colleagues to implement AVID methodologies school wide, to place students in college preparatory curriculum, and to work with counselors to guide students through the college application process.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The AVID Tutor<o:p></o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Tutors are essential to the success of the AVID elective class, where they facilitate student access to rigorous curriculum. Tutors receive formal training and also serve as role models. AVID students who continue their education in college often return to the program as tutors.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The AVID Parent<o:p></o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">AVID parents encourage their students to achieve academically. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; mso-outline-level: 2"><strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Results<o:p></o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">State-funded, independent research, together with AVID's own data, validate that the AVID college-readiness system works. Consider: AVID students are more likely to take AP classes, complete their college eligibility requirements, and get into four-year colleges than students who don't take AVID. Almost all AVID students who participate for at least three years are accepted to college, with roughly three quarters getting into four-year universities. AVID also helps ensure students, once accepted to college, possess the higher-level skills they need for college success. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'">How Will AVID be Taught at SYVCS?</SPAN></strong><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">AVID will be a 4-day a week class at SYVCS. One day a week will focus on tutorials, two days will be based around AVID curriculum, and one day a week will focus on guest speakers, teambuilding, organizing, etc. SYHS will be sending over high school AVID students as tutors during our tutorial days; these students will help students with their work and serve as role models for the middle school students. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'">Doubts about AVID?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></strong></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">The students will not be placed in lower level classes based on AVID.
