Printer-friendly version

This session explores how AVID’s (Advancement Via Individual Determination) system of acceleration and support not only prepares low-income students for college and careers but also 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 28 years of practice, which are currently being used in 3,500 schools in 45 states and 15 countries.

Presenters:
Linda Powell-McMillan, national director of program development
Granger Ward, executive vice president, AVID Center, San Diego
