Individual Determination
Michael Schmidt and Michael Robbins
The Mission: AVID is designed to increase
school wide learning and performance. The mission of AVID is
to ensure that all students,
and most especially the least served students in the middle
capable of completing a college preparatory path:
-
Will succeed in rigorous curriculum
-
Will enter mainstream activities of the
school
-
Will increase their enrollment in four
year colleges and
-
Will become educated and responsible
participants and leaders in a democratic society.
The purpose of the AVID program is to
restructure the teaching methods of an entire school and to
open access to the curricula that will
ensure four-year college eligibility to almost all students.
Michael Schmidt is Director of High
Schools, Syracuse City School District and Michael
Robbins is AVID District Director.
