Wondering "What is AVID?" or "What is an AVID class?" Find out more about this college-readiness program and the students it targets here.

Another example of connecting CTE and AVID. This was a project that a counselor did with the students. It would be a nice connect to use a one pager for this so as to make the connection to Inquiry.

Not long before I made the move from a local Club to BGCA, I started playing a game with my middle grades members that they LOVED. I adapted it from something I heard on a podcast and called it Dum…
