AVID Teachers are Here to Stay!

AVID training increases teachers’ likelihood to remain at their school or district.

AVID-trained educators accelerate the development of relational capacity among staff and students, resulting in:

  1. Higher levels of collective educator agency
  2. Higher academic achievement and student agency
  3. Thriving learning environments schoolwide

Research conducted in Arizona and Oregon showed that AVID teachers had a higher overall retention rate than non-AVID teachers. This research also showed an even higher retention rate for AVID teachers new to teaching versus non-AVID teachers who were new to teaching.
