SC GEAR UP
Weekly Memo - 3/7 to 3/13
Good Morning
I hope everyone had a great weekend. This is another week to be diligent. We are now about halfway through the Spring of 11th grade. We should be moving with a purpose as our charge is clear.
Make sure you copy Tanya on the things you send me tmartin@che.sc.gov . As we move forward Tanya will be getting to see more of you, your area and how you operate.
Be sure to send me your weekly schedules today so that we know where to find you if we need to.
I sent everyone an email on Friday for an update on your Region. I need your response by today at 11AM.
Invoices were due this past Friday for Q3, Q4, and Q1. Just as a heads up, I will be expecting Q2 around the first week in April, if not earlier. Its required for the APR to know where we are through Q2. I'm sorry if this stretches you guys, but I gotta have them. Help me out.
SC GEAR UP Day at Clemson
Decision Day
Keep up the good work with your Decision Day plans. Based on some of the reports I've gotten, your contest should be very interesting. I working with my group to get some resources on the SCCANGO page for use.
Also, if anyone has finished videos I can look at, send them on.
APR
I have the APR from Washington. Tanya and I have already begun to work on it. As always, I'll need your help in the following manner:
- Narratives on the successes of your individual initiatives in your Regions
- Making sure I have all invoices in
Objectives for 2015-16
The SCGU Grant objectives for 11th grade will be that 1) At least 25% of our cohort will have passed at least 2 math courses above Algebra by the end of 11th grade; 2) 80% of our students will pass U.S. History by the end of 11th grade.
Remember, the success of the SC GEAR UP Grant will be judged on three things:
1) Did your GU cohort graduate high school at a higher rate than the non GU cohorts?
2) Did your GU cohort enroll at a post-secondary institution at a higher rate than the non GU cohorts?
3) How prepared to succeed were our GU cohort when they arrived at college?
