GEAR UP Kentucky: College Readiness

Since 2003 CTL has worked with GEAR UP Kentucky to develop the capacity of more than 100 participating schools to create a college-going culture and improve the rigor of classroom instruction.

CTL's role has included developing regional and statewide professional development opportunities for school leadership teams for teachers and for GEAR UP staff; working with each school to assess alignment with state curriculum standards and the ACT College Readiness Standards; embedding GEAR UP goals and priorities within state-mandated school improvement plans; and helping classroom teachers to differentiate their instruction so that all students achieve and are on track for college.

Since 2006, CTL has also provided professional development, tools and school improvement processes to help GEAR UP middle and high school sites ensure a successful transition for students moving from middle to high school.
