AVID STEM Connections

Developed by AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Center, STEM Connections offers a framework that links AVID's instructional strategies with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics curricula. The programme includes lesson resources, instructional activities, and pedagogical guidance intended to support teachers in delivering STEM content alongside skills such as critical thinking, collaborative inquiry, and structured note-taking.

It is aimed at educators working across elementary and secondary phases who wish to embed AVID's WICOR methodology (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organisation, Reading) within STEM subject areas. The resource forms part of AVID's broader portfolio of professional learning and curriculum materials, which are used by schools and districts in the United States and internationally.

STEM Connections content typically covers areas such as engineering design challenges, scientific investigation, mathematical reasoning, and the use of technology in problem-solving contexts. Schools accessing the programme generally do so as part of an AVID membership or professional development pathway, with materials made available through AVID's online platforms for participating educators.
