Instructional Tools

NCCEP has developed two multimedia programs designed to help GEAR UP and other college access programs engage families in helping their students plan and prepare for college. Éxito Escolar and 16 Summers include both video and print materials, and are adaptable for use inside and outside the classroom. Their messages speak directly to low-income, first-generation college-bound students and their families, and are an excellent enhancement to your college readiness program.
