Abstract	We need to come together as a team and become one system of total quality improvement regarding the education of our nation's children. In order to achieve a gold standard in the education of our nation's children, leadership has to be willing to go against the status quo and build bridges for long-term sustainable change. In order to survive, organizations must create smart new strategies and strategic initiatives and implement them in ways that drive change fast enough, with sustainable results. Student achievement is the number one criteria under which schools are judged. Mathematical capability in the 21st century is the key determinant to productivity concerns. Proven improvement, continuous quality improvement (CQI) through the Advancement via independent determination (AVID) program could be the beginning of creating a "gold standard of education" for all children. Schools and communities should know if educational programs are providing results. This paper explores whether or not the implemented change program, AVID, successfully improved student's academic achievements in the public school system. The research will focus specifically on student's scores in mathematics. The research question is whether or not there is a statistically significant difference in the ACT mathematical scores between AVID elective 11th graders and non-AVID 11th graders. Current academic achievements in the public school system indicate the need for a collaborative approach between a traditional system and a change intervention. Appendices include: (1) AVID Secondary Certification Facts; (2) AVID Certification Report and Self Study Continuum; and (3) The Joy of Learning. (As Provided).
