AVID - Advancement Via Individual Determination - allows teachers to teach rigorous AP/Pre-AP curriculum without leaving behind students. AVID takes students who have the determination to succeed and works with them to get the tools to succeed. AVID breaks down the barriers of race, gender, ethnicity and socio-economics and allows all students the chance to succeed in rigorous coursework.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education is pleased to partner with AVID to increase the number of programs across the state. The partnership includes grants for schools to start AVID as well as informational meetings to learn more about how it works in schools.
Important Notice: AVID grants for the 2017-2018 school year are dependent upon state funding.
