A New Upward Bound Initiative


Upward Bound is gearing up our students to tackle the Geometry Regents! In the beginning of January, we started an initiative to help students improve their Regents test scores with a little bit of effort each week. Each time a student completes two 30 minute vocabulary practice sessions within a week, we reward them, and offer a bigger reward if they do so for four straight weeks. This initiative was set in place after recognizing students’ consistent struggle with Geometry vocabulary.  “Once you can get the vocabulary down, you have a much better shot at scoring well on the regents,” program director Carmelita Brown-Wallace noted. “The vocabulary piece is key, and we want to make sure we’re giving our students the exact preparation they need.” We look forward to seeing our students crush the Geometry regents in June!
