Why Gear Up Week?
National GEAR UP Week is an opportunity to raise awareness in your school and community about the positive impact GEAR UP is having locally.
Research shows--
School culture and climate directly affect student learning and engagement as well as college aspirations and preparation. A college-going culture sets high expectations for all students and provides them with the academic preparation and other tools to meet those expectations. Students benefit from ever-present reminders of college expectations in visual reminders, verbal interactions and activities dedicated to exploring post-secondary opportunities. All school staff, plus parents and students (and even the community) play a role in consistently echoing the expectation of college.
