  • rigorous academic preparedness
  • opportunity knowledge
  • student agency
• What AVID Educators Do - teachers and other adults on a school campus play an important role in student success. To bring about this transformation, educators must: 
  • insist on rigor
  • break down barriers
  • align the work
