Exploring Your Data
We love data! Your school's personalized Data Dashboard gives you up-to-date insight into the progress that your school is making in areas of career and college readiness. Data comes from multiple sources, including GEAR UP surveys, the College & Career Readiness Inventory (CCRI), Oregon Department of Education (ODE), and the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC).
You should have received an e-mail from our Data Manager, Natalie Smith, with your log in information. Explore the data available to you now - more information will be added as you conduct surveys.
Need help with your Data Dashboard? Contact Natalie.
Your To Do List
Here's what's on your agenda for fall!
- Review the GEAR UP Roadmap. The Roadmap provides a step-by-step guide to enhance your school culture while creating college and career-ready students using our research-based theory of change.
- Build a College & Career Readiness Team. Having a team of people is critical to this work! See the Roadmap for instructions and suggestions on how to get the right people on board.
- Survey parents (optional). Online surveys are available until November 30 at bit.ly/gearupaffiliateparentsurvey.
- Join us to kick things off. We hope to have either an Affiliate Kickoff meeting or personalized meetings with new schools this fall. More details to come.
- Questions? Contact the Affiliate Liaison, Maddy Anderson.
College Visit Funds
Oregon schools may apply for funds up to $750/visit for school field trips to college campuses and college fairs. Funds may be used for transportation, substitutes for teachers attending the field trip, and meals. Schools will be reimbursed after the visit. Funds are first-come, first-served.
Register for 12th Grade Events
Our statewide initiative, Oregon Goes To College, organizes three 12th grade events - College Application Week, College Cash Campaign, and Decision Day. All Oregon high schools are invited to join this effort to assist and celebrate students as they take the necessary steps to apply, pay for, and go to college. New this year - financial aid help via online chat! You can still register your school here. |
