What Does AVID Look Like?
AVID implementation is structured around four AVID Schoolwide Domains: Instruction, Systems, Leadership and Culture.
The Instruction Domain focuses on the schoolwide implementation of WICOR strategies. WICOR stands for Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization and Reading. WICOR strategies are used to help students engage in rigorous coursework. These strategies help students build a toolbox that they can use to access coursework in all content areas. WICOR strategies help students take ownership of their learning.
