Region One ESC GEAR UP: Ready, Set, College!

Region One Education Service Center
Edinburg, Texas

The ambition of the Region One ESC GEAR UP: Ready, Set, College! is to create and support college-going communities to ensure that students prosper in any type of postsecondary education. The project's foundation is built upon a plan encompassing academic reform through the systemic examination, alignment, and implementation of policies, programs, and practices that enable student success. Region One GEAR UP analyzes data from state assessments and surveys to inform decisions concerning college and career readiness in the region. Community leaders are created through an innovative and state-recognized parent-to-parent training model. Parents receive training to become education advocates, giving presentations on effective roles for families in education and sharing critical knowledge needed to navigate the college process.    

Program Highlights

  • Region One GEAR UP partnered with Apple to integrate technology with education through the assimilation of iPads into English Language Arts and social studies classes. The partnership also introduced the project to Apple’s iTunes U platform, supplying iBooks on how to access college. 
  • Every Thursday, a local ABC affiliate TV station profiles Region One GEAR UP's efforts. The vignettes feature various GEAR UP initiatives and how they contribute to the creation of a college-going culture throughout the community.     
  • Each project year, the Region One GEAR UP Partnership hosts a series of Financial Literacy Conferences designed to provide vital information about financial awareness for students and parents alike. Project staff, along with business and community partners, present on a range of topics, including the importance of managing your money, banking, and future financial planning.
