C.O.R.E: College Options, Readiness, and Education
We at Appalachian GEAR UP have developed a comprehensive postsecondary access system called C.O.R.E: College Options, Readiness, and Education.
Our focus is on three pillars:
- Instructional Services
- Postsecondary PLCs
- Building Relationships
The purpose of C.O.R.E. is to give schools a comprehensive, systemic plan for addressing student needs as they relate to postsecondary education.
