Suspended Curriculum Gear Up at Sam Houston HS It’s never too early to inspire college success!
The Texas GEAR UP state grantis managed by the Texas Education Agency's Office of College and Career Readiness Initiatives. The six-year federal program (2006-2012) is created to enhance early college awareness, access, and readiness for Texas students. GEAR UP begins working with students in the seventh grade and follows them through to graduation. Who? Like your own course syllabus, CHAMPS, and introduction to the expectations of your classroom, the Suspended Curriculum is an introduction to college readiness for the year. The purpose of the Suspended Curriculum is to begin with the end in mind, setting the framework for college readiness and high expectations. What? When? The Suspended Curriculum should be covered during the first few days of school. On our campus, it will take about 2 class periods per teacher.
You can find the Suspended Curriculum on the District Wiki: Go to https://saisdecampus.remote-learner.net/login/index.php Log in using your district username and password. Where? Go to “Curriculum and Instruction” and then to “GEAR UP / FISHnet Camp”
The topics are differentiated by grade level. In addition, we will divide the units by content area, so that over the course of 2 days, all students will have seen all units. How?
