  2. What is AVID AVID (or Advancement Via Individual Determination) was designed by a San Diego teacher, Mary Catherine Swanson, to help the students “in the middle” get the skills they need to go to college. AVID is an elective class that is part of a complete college preparatory program.

  6. What are AVID tutorials • Tutorials are a primary component contributing to the success of AVID students. Based on the Socratic method, tutorials are an exercise in higher level thinking and questioning. College students facilitate the tutorials so that they operate in much the same manner as cooperative college study groups. • In order to benefit from tutorials, AVID students must come to class on Tuesdays and Thursdays prepared with their Tutorial Form (TRF) completed. Students failing to comply will only receive points for notes and reflection. It is important to note that even if a student is earning a grade higher than a 75 in all his/her classes, he/she is still expected to participate in tutorials twice per week because tutorials are an exercise in higher level thinking and problem-solving.

  7. Why AVID ? • Student who have been enrolled in AVID for at least 3 years graduate and enter college at a rate of 93% according to a study at UCSD. • AVID has been an integral part of Freedom Middle School since 2010. AVID is also offered at Freedom High School.
