AVID
Welcome to Eagan High School AVIDAVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is an elective course where students learn organizational and study skills, work on critical thinking and ask probing questions, get academic help from peers and tutors, and participate in enrichment and motivational activities that make college seem attainable. The AVID Curriculum was developed based on rigorous standards by middle and high school teachers, along with college professors. It is driven by the WICOR method, which stands for writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading. 8th grade students that applied for the program and had successful interviews were accepted into the AVID program that meets one class period a day for three trimesters during their freshman year. These students will then continue in the AVID program throughout their high school career. |
