Last November, Alex Chough shared with directors that the NCCEP/GEAR UP Capacity-Building Workshop will continue to be virtual to maintain quality professional development at an affordable price. This shift provided an opportunity to rethink the event: what we address, how we address it, and the best ways to leverage this gathering for our national community.
Using a design thinking process, the NCCEP team is collecting information about the needs and preferences of GEAR UP professionals to inform the redesign.
This redesign wouldn't be possible without all the thoughtful input from our committees, the Discovery Lab members, and each of you!
The survey is your opportunity to tell us what you need from this event, preferences, and share your other thoughts. It closes May 24, so take a couple minutes to complete it today.
As someone who knows first-hand the impact of GEAR UP, I realize how important it is that each of you have the tools and resources you need to support students on their education journey. This means creating an event that has real impact. So, thank you in advance for providing insights to help us redesign this hallmark event!
Please message me if you have questions or want to connect. I look forward to hearing from you!
