In Question Everything, award-winning education writer Jay Mathews presents the stories and winning strategies behind the Advancement Via Individual Determination program (AVID). With the goal of preparing students for the future – whether that future includes college or not – AVID teaches students the personal management skills that will help them survive and thrive. Focused on time management, presentation, and cooperation, the AVID program leads not only to impressive educational outcomes, but also to young adults prepared for life after school. This book tells the stories of AVID educators, students, and families to illustrate how and why the program works, and demonstrates how teachers can employ AVID’s strategies with their own students.

Over the past thirty years, AVID has grown from a single teacher’s practice to an organization serving 400,000 middle- and high-school students in 47 states and 16 countries. Question Everything describes the ideas and strategies behind the upward trajectory of both the program and the students who take part.

  • Learn which foundational skills are emphasized for future success
  • Discover how AVID teaches personal management skills in the academic context
  • Contrast AVID student outcomes with national averages
  • Consider implementing AVID concepts and techniques into current curricula

As college readiness becomes a top priority for the Federal Government, the Gates Foundation, and other influential organizations, AVID’s track record stands out as one of success. By leveling the playing field and introducing “real-world” realities early on, the program teaches students skills that help them in the workplace and beyond.
