Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a non-profit organization that provides professional learning for educators to close opportunity gaps and improve college and career readiness for elementary, middle and high school students, especially those traditionally underrepresented in higher education. AVID's College and Career Readiness System had its start at the secondary level, with elective classes and work in elementary schools and college campuses.

WICOR is a collection of instructional strategies associated with the AVID program. WICOR stands for Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading to Learn.
