Welcome, I'm Mrs. Nichols, and I think AVID students are awesome. In fact, I decided to make the shift from education policy to teaching after spending two years in the AVID classroom as a tutor. Seven years later, I have found that as an AVID teacher I often get to see students become their best as they prepare for college readines and success in a global society. And this is why I am an AVID teacher, to encourage and support students as they become their best.
