AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.

 What is AVID?

AVID is not just another program…
         at its heart,
               AVID is a philosophy
Hold students accountable to the highest
     standardsprovide academic and social
                 support,  and they will
                           rise to the challenge.

AVID Secondary (grades 7-12) develops learning, study and academic behavioral skills that are essential to success in rigorous coursework. It acts as a catalyst for schools to develop a culture of college readiness for all students across the campus. In the AVID Elective class, students receive daily instruction and support to prepare them for college from a trained AVID Elective teacher. AVID impacts students school wide as academic strategies like writing to learn, inquiry, collaboration, organizational skills, and critical reading (WICOR) are taught in all classes by teachers who have been trained to use AVID strategies in their specific content areas.

What AVID Does

Simply, AVID trains educators to use proven practices in order to prepare students for success in high school, college, and a career, especially students traditionally underrepresented in higher education.

How AVID Works

AVID brings research‐based strategies and curriculum to educational institutions in elementarysecondary, and higher education. The AVID System annually provides more than 30,000 educators with training and methodologies that develop students’ critical thinking, literacy, and math skills across all content areas throughout the entire campus, in what we call Schoolwide AVID.

AVID:

  • Teaches skills and behaviors for academic success
  • Provides intensive support with tutorials and strong student/teacher relationships
  • Creates a positive peer group for students
  • Develops a sense of hope for personal achievement gained through hard work and determination

As a result, policymakers and educators now consider AVID’s mission to be an essential strategy for closing the achievement gap, making college access and success available to all students.

Parent/Community ~ Crozier Middle School

Parent/Community

Parent/Community Volunteers

Parent and community volunteers support children in many ways. Whether volunteering in the classroom, supervising the playground, serving on school committees, or donating valuable resources and expertise, volunteers are an important part of daily life in IUSD schools. Each year, recognition ceremonies are held both at the school and district levels to honor the important contributions of school volunteers and donors. To find out how you can become a volunteer and make a difference in the lives of IUSD children, please contact your school.

Mentorship Program

Several Inglewood schools offer mentorship programs in which students are paired with adult volunteers from the professional community. I, IUSD launched a district-wide mentorship program for high school seniors. Mentors provide guidance to students during their transition from high school to universities, technical schools, or careers. Interested students should ask their counselors about the program. To become a mentor, please contact the Inglewood USD  (310) 419-2700.

Parent Teacher Assoc. (PTA/PTSA)

The Inglewood Council Parent Teacher Association has become more active in IUSD schools in recent years, with six new chapters starting since its 2005 expansion drive. The PTA and PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) school site units support student achievement and school life by hosting fundraisers for school equipment and supplies, sponsoring student activities, supporting teachers, and working as legislative advocates for children. Please contact your school for information about how to join the PTA or start a unit at your school.

School Advisory Committees

IUSD parents and community members can play an important part in school and district-level leadership by becoming members of advisory committees ranging from the Gifted and Talented (GATE) Advisory Committee, School Site Council (SSC), School Advisory Council (SAC), District Advisory Council (DAC), English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC), and District English Language Advisory Committee (DELAC) to the Career Technical Advisory Committee, Nutrition Program Alliance, Head Start advisory committee, and Measure K Citizens’ Oversight Committee, to name a few.

Parent Classes / Workshops

IUSD schools offer a variety of parent classes and workshops. For example, many schools offer PESA (Parent Expectations Student Achievement) classes, which teach parents how to help their children achieve in school. Other classes are designed to show non-English-speaking parents how to best support their children. In many cases, parent classes are tailored to meet the needs of each individual school.

Adopt A School Partnerships

The Adopt-A-School program helps unite schools with volunteers, businesses, service clubs, corporate neighbors, and individuals who “adopt” them by committing to a wide range of projects and services. Each adoption is individualized and can take the form of financial support, volunteering, shared expertise, or physical resources. It might mean sponsoring teacher appreciation days, providing after-school programs, setting up internships, or assisting students with resume writing, interviewing, and other job-related skills, to name a few.

the Adopt-A-School program now has over 170 members. The Inglewood Area Ministers Association plays a very important role, with thirty-five Inglewood area churches coordinating a variety of educational activities with school staff. For information on how to support local educational programs for children by becoming a school adopter, please contact the Inglewood USD  (310) 419-2700.
