Each week, we'll be showcasing one of the incredible programs that make McKinney ISD a place where all students learn, grow, discover, and thrive.
From innovative academic pathways to inspiring student-led initiatives, these spotlights will highlight the opportunities that shape our schools and strengthen our community.
This week, we are spotlighting our AVID program.
AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a college readiness program implemented in Texas schools to help students develop the skills needed for college and career success. AVID targets students in the academic middle, those who have the potential for college but may need additional support to get there. AVID equips students with the academic, social, and organizational skills needed to succeed in college and beyond. In addition, teachers and students campus wide benefit from the implementation of successful learning strategies that can be used in any classroom. AVID empowers students to take ownership of their own learning and future.
The three main components of the AVID college readiness system are academic instruction, tutorial support, and motivational and college prep activities. The AVID curriculum is based on writing as a tool of learning, inquiry method, collaborative grouping, organization, and academic reading. By developing skills and providing support, AVID helps students access more educational and career opportunities.
The program offers a daily AVID elective class where students receive support from teachers, tutors, and peers. University and college students are preferred as tutors because they also serve as college role models for students. All tutors receive formal training in AVID methodologies and expected tutoring procedures.
