Abstract

In education, there is a certain population of students that are overlooked. The low-socioeconomic student whose parent(s) did not attend post-secondary education is often overlooked. There is a need to provide these students with supports to become successful both in secondary and post-secondary education. Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is such a support. AVID can also provide support and satisfaction for the educator. Using quantitative data, I demonstrated in my study the success of the AVID student as compared to the non-AVID student in English Language Arts and Math. I used qualitative data and quantitative data to research teacher satisfaction using AVID.
