How does GEAR UP know what homework my student needs help with?
GEAR UP staff strive to work closely with teachers in order to be aware of current assignments and expectations of students. In addition, GEAR UP staff regularly check the progress reports of students attending the after school program. Students who have Ds and Fs or missing assignments are provided with extra assistance and GEAR UP staff review their work and place them on more frequent progress report monitoring to assist them to increase their grades. If students are struggling in classes, it is most helpful for them to attend the after school program three or more days a week. This helps them to develop consistent study and work habits.
