[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID student: All schools should have AVID. It improves student skills and helps students know what they want to do after high school. #NATCON19 #Avid4College

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID student: AVID helped me grow my confidence and my voice and my opinions. I would not be the person I am without AVID teachers and students. #NATCON19 #Avid4College

@richardwhitmir highlights that @AVID4College is part of ‘a breakthrough at hand’. AVID alumni obtain four-year degrees at nearly four times the rate of similar students. #ThisIsAVID https://t.co/plgKZbCOnz

AVID student: ‘Because of AVID, there are no challenges I can't overcome. I am limitless.’ #AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID student: ‘Mrs. K is not only my teacher, she is also a friend when I need comfort, an advisor when I am unsure, and someone who quickly transitioned from my crazy English teacher to my slightly crazy AVID mother, to someone I know I will have in my life forever.‘#AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID student: ‘If you want it bad enough, you can achieve it.” #AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID Teacher: It is now common for my students to shatter all expectations. That is the power of AVID: when done right, it helps everyone--teachers and students alike--see that truly, they are limitless. #AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID teacher: ‘I realized I couldn’t put limits on my abilities, either. I had to stop telling myself what I couldn’t do and start convincing myself--and my students--of what we could do.’ #AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID Educator: ‘Placing arbitrary limits on students doesn’t keep them safe: it keeps them trapped.’ #AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID Educator: ‘As teachers we are light posts on a dark road. Each light gets students to the next, and so on. Without us to help guide them, many students would not be able to navigate this road. It is imperative that we leave no one in the dark!’ #AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID educator: ‘We as educators must be ready to evolve to meet the needs of our students. We have the ability to change their lives, let’s don’t waste it.’ #AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID student: ‘AVID has taught me that even I, a child of war, can dream too.Because of AVID, today I am college bound, I feel great, I feel passionate,
and I feel confident.#AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID student: ‘It isn’t just about good grades and how to be successful in college. It is much more than that. AVID is my home now… my new family. It has taught me mental toughness and a growth mindset.’ #AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID educator: ‘I quickly realized that the AVID students who did not speak English as their first language were just as gifted and talented as the GATE students.’ They were future doctors, future engineers, future lawyers and even future teachers. #AVIDSI2019

[Steve Silberman @AVID_Silberman]

AVID educator: ‘Little did I know the significant impact AVID would make in my teaching career and life. It was humbling to be considered a mentor, a big brother and a confidant to the AVID students. ‘ #AVIDSI2019
