Sixteen new schools have joined the Oregon GEAR UP network. With the generous support of the Ford Family Foundation these schools have begun to enjoy the benefits of the Oregon GEAR UP Program.The Principals Leadership Program, a component of Oregon GEAR UP, provides support for principals in their work with teachers and community to create college readiness and access. It includes on-site visits from a mentor, regional meetings and seminars, networking with other GEAR UP principals, and professional tools and resources.
Over 200 Research Briefs are available to principals. They cover virtually all of the major topics of interest for secondary school principals and each was developed at the request of a principal. There are also several other tools that will help principals work with their staff to implement a comprehensive college readiness program. A new addition is a set of podcasts,Principal's Perspectives, each prepared by a Oregon GEAR UP principal about an initiative in their school. The podcasts are also available at Apple's iTunes store.
I think you will find these tools and resources helpful in your work to improve college readiness. I'd enjoy hearing from you about their usefulness.
