What is the role of AVID coordinators in implementing the program?

The role of AVID coordinators in implementing the program is multifaceted and crucial for its success in schools. By overseeing the integration of AVID strategies within the educational framework, coordinators ensure that both teachers and students receive the necessary support for effective implementation. This involves providing professional development for teachers to adopt AVID methodologies in their classrooms, as well as mentoring students in study skills, collaboration, and critical thinking.

In addition to curriculum support, AVID coordinators serve as a bridge between students, teachers, and the school administration, fostering an environment where AVID principles can thrive. They work to create a culture that emphasizes college readiness and helps students develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed in higher education.

While student enrollment is a component of the program, the coordinators’ role encompasses much more, focusing on comprehensive support rather than solely managing enrollment. Their involvement is critical for ensuring that the program is not only implemented effectively but also sustained and adapted to meet the needs of the school community.
