Ramp-Up to Readiness

Printer-friendly version

While preparing all students for postsecondary success is a relatively new challenge, a growing body of research shows us what needs to be done. Ramp-Up is so rooted in that research that its name reflects the key components: Rigor-Access-Motivation-Persistence

Rigor

preparation to handle higher expectations, faster pacing and deeper thinking skills

Access

providing students and families information on key components of college admissions and finances

Motivation

a vision of a student’s future that can motivate hard work in school

Persistence

helping students stick to their education in the face of challenges
