Continuing Sustainability Project (CSP)

 

September 2008 – September 2011

The goal of the California GEAR UP Continuing Sustainability Project (CSP) is to assist schools in implementing long-term strategies to sustain a college-going culture.  CSP is for the middle school leadership team that wants the opportunity to deepen the conversation and build upon the work that was conducted during their two and a half years of intensive services with California GEAR UP.  

EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOR SCHOOLS

  1. Development of a high performance (stable, cohesive and communicative) GEAR UP Leadership Team that will lead the school community in continuously assessing the college-going culture of the school based upon the School Self -Assessment Rubric (SSAR) and the GEAR UP indicators.

  2. A clear understanding of what a college-going culture is and looks like as described by the school’s SSAR and the 5 GEAR UP Sustainability indicators.

  3. Continued measurable progress of the 5 GEAR UP Sustainability indicators: 
    • Sustainability of the Leadership Team
    • Academic Rigor
    • Academic Counseling
    • College and Financial Aid Information for Students and Families
    • Regular Involvement of Families
  1. An alignment of the school’s Professional Development Action Plan with the GEAR UP Sustainability Plan.

                      

 
 
 
 
In their own words
"What I really like about GEAR UP is that this is not another program-this is doing better what we already do. It is good teaching...and that includes assessment, analysis and academic support."
