Ramp-Up To Readiness2014-2015 Network of Schools • Inver Grove Heights Middle School was selected to participate in the Ramp-Up to Readiness Network of Schools in partnership with the University of Minnesota for the 2014-2015 school year. • Ramp-Up to Readiness Schools receive access to the evidence-based Ramp-Up to Readiness curriculum, including two tools, the Postsecondary Plan and the Readiness Rubric, which help meet Postsecondary Planning Legislation (120B.125). • Ramp-Up schools also receive site visits, professional development, and continued support through the partnership. Ramp-Up to Readiness™ features an engaging and interactive series of Advisory Activities and Workshops focused on helping all students meet the Ramp-Up Outcomes by the end of high school. Outcomes are focused on the five pillars of readiness: academic, admissions, career, financial, and personal and social readiness. Ramp-Up helps students advance toward meeting those standards as they progress through school.
