GEAR-UP (Gaining Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is an educational development program that prepares low-income students for postsecondary education and supports the building of a college going culture in middle and high schools. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Education, and is housed in the Educational Partnerships Office and the Anaheim Unified School District. C-REAL provides a holistic evaluation of this program using multiple methods of data collection that engage students, parents, teachers, and community partners in measuring program effectiveness and identifying best practices in partnerships, leadership, and student response to instruction. In addition, C-REAL is building a longitudinal database to track students from middle school through college.
