Academic Support
Tutoring & Credit Recovery
GEAR UP New Mexico offers tutoring as a timely intervention and academic support for students to meet the increasing demands for high school graduation and postsecondary enrollment. Research indicates tutoring can help to improve passing rates, timely homework completion, grades, self-confidence, and content mastery. GUNM recognizes various tutoring models: study groups, push-in tutoring, goal tutoring, and drop-in tutoring.
In addition to tutoring, GEAR UP New Mexico provides schools resources and support for students in credit recovery programs after tracking student progress.
AVID
For over four decades, AVID has equipped educators to focus on rigorous instruction, insist on access and equity for all students, align work to a common vision, and believe in students’ potential in order to improve student outcomes. In addition to graduating more college-bound and career-ready students, AVID schools are equipping their students with the social and emotional faculties they need for life and career success. GEAR UP New Mexico provides funding for an AVID instructor and AVID professional development at each of our partner schools.
