Who?
The Texas GEAR UP state grant
is managed by the Texas Education Agency's Office of College and Career Readiness Initiatives. The six-year federal program (2006-2012) is created to enhance early college awareness, access, and readiness for Texas students. GEAR UP begins working with students in the seventh grade and follows them through to graduation.
What?
Like your own course syllabus, CHAMPS, and introduction to the expectations of your classroom, the Suspended Curriculum is an introduction to college readiness for the year. The purpose of the Suspended Curriculum is to begin with the end in mind, setting the framework for college readiness and high expectations.
When?
The Suspended Curriculum should be covered during the first few days of school. On our campus, it will take about 2 class periods per teacher.Slide3
