Daytona Beach students are set to benefit from the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program, a methodology designed to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success.
AVID Elementary focuses on core skills
AVID Elementary is integrated into daily instruction across entire schools, impacting all students. The program utilizes WICOR—Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading—to equip elementary students with essential skills for rigorous academic curricula. It functions as a methodology that reinforces effective teaching practices rather than a standalone program.
The core mission of AVID is to ensure that students capable of succeeding in challenging coursework, particularly those in the academic middle who may be falling short of their potential, are provided with the support and strategies needed to thrive.
For more information or specific inquiries regarding AVID implementation in local schools, parents and educators can contact the school's AVID Coordinator, Mrs. Mindy Spangler, at [email protected].
