This session explores how Advancement Via Individual Achievement (AVID)’s system of acceleration and support not only prepares low-income students for college and careers, but can be a catalyst for building a college-going culture that transforms entire schools. Participants will be introduced to evidence-based strategies and case studies, honed over 26 years of practice, which are currently being used in 2,700 schools in 39 states and 15 countries.
