What role does parental involvement play in AVID's approach?

Parental involvement is integral to AVID's approach, as it emphasizes the importance of family engagement in fostering student achievement. Research has shown that when parents are actively involved in their children's education, students are more likely to succeed academically and socially. AVID recognizes that families play a crucial role in a student’s educational journey, and therefore, it actively encourages parents to participate in various aspects of the AVID program.

This involvement can include attending workshops, supporting at-home learning activities, and engaging with teachers to track progress. Such actions help to create a supportive environment where students feel encouraged and motivated to excel. The focus on parental engagement not only builds stronger connections between home and school but also empowers families to become advocates for their children's education, which is a key component of the AVID framework.
