AVID HISTORY
The AVID has been an integral part of BCHS since 2006. It has grown from one small section of students to 24 sections across all grade levels. Our program currently has over 750 students.
HERE AT BCHS WE FOCUS OUR EFFORTS ON THE FOUR DOMAINS:
AVID SCHOOLWIDE INSTRUCTION
WICOR
AVID Schoolwide instruction occurs when the entire instructional staff utilizes AVID strategies, other best instructional practices, and 21st century tools to ensure college readiness for AVID Elective students and increased academic performance for all students.
AVID SCHOOLWIDE SYSTEMS
AVID Elective Management, Access to Rigor/Student Support, Assessment of Student Progress, and Professional Learning
AVID is Schoolwide when systems are in place that support governance, curriculum and instruction, data collection and analysis, professional learning, and student and parent outreach to ensure college readiness for AVID Elective students and improved academic performance for all students.
AVID SCHOOLWIDE LEADERSHIP
College Readiness Mission/Vision, Representative Governance, and Strategic College Readiness Planning
AVID Schoolwide leadership sets the vision and tone that promotes college readiness and high expectations for all students in the school.
AVID SCHOOLWIDE CULTURE
Rigor, Community Activities/College Awareness, and College-Going Environment
AVID Schoolwide culture is evident when the AVID philosophy progressively shifts beliefs and behaviors resulting in an increase of students meeting college readiness requirements.
