District Initiatives

Everyone deserves to thrive.

Classrooms are the ecosystem of the school. When we teach the whole child, we create a vibrant learning community.

There are many ways to develop a thriving learning culture based on the needs of your specific district, school, or classroom. With 45 years of experience, AVID is excited to share proven educational practices with educators. We’ve also compiled resources around what it takes for students to become ‘future-ready,’ as well as the importance of building relational capacity. These resources have been designed with you, the educator, in mind to help you, your teams, and your students thrive.
