BNL AVID


BNL AVID:  Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) is a system that transforms the Instruction, Systems, Leadership, and Culture of a school, ensuring college and career readiness for all AVID Elective students and improved academic outcomes for all students. By placing students in a learning setting that engages them in rigor with support, opportunities to explore future pathways, and deliberate instruction in self-management and leadership, students develop the skills and agency that will serve them for life.
