AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a student-centered approach to teaching and learning that helps students take ownership of their educational experience. AVID Elementary Schools engage young learners and provide them with the critical thinking and self-advocacy skills to become confident, independent thinkers who have a thirst for learning. Visit avid.org for more information.
Polk Teachers use AVID strategies to:
Promote academic rigor through Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading (WICOR®) in all subjects
Foster peer collaboration inside and outside the classroom
Develop student note-taking and time management skills
Build knowledge and skills to help students take charge of their own future.
