GEAR UP
The School of Education at Loyola University Chicago has been an active partner in the GEAR UP network for nine years. As a founding partner in the GEAR UP network, Loyola's School of Education has actively participated for nineteen years. Programs include direct services to students, parent programs, and professional development for CPS faculty.
Loyola’s GEAR UP network leads professional development efforts for the Chicago GEAR UP Alliance in the area of mathematics, participating in annual conference design and implementation, curriculum development, and onsite professional development in area schools. Loyola’s GU network also coordinates a number of direct outreach projects with CPS high-need high schools by hiring and training nearly 50 Loyola undergrads to work weekly as “academic coaches” with small groups of students in those designated schools.
One GEAR UP initiative is MathFLIX, a series of short professional education videos for teachers and teaching students to learn and review math concepts. For more information, see mathflix.luc.edu.
