Build Your Own Toolkit
Welcome to Build Your Own Toolkit! Since 2001, Texas GEAR UP has developed multimedia toolkits on a wide array of college access and readiness topics for distribution to every middle school and high school in the state. This vast library of videos and print materials has been updated and cataloged for this web site. Now you can stream or download individual videos or print pieces—as well as entire toolkits—free of charge.
Many of the videos have accompanying discussion guides ideal for presentations to students and parents. New materials will be added as they are developed, so be sure to keep your eye on this site for updates. For now, feel free to start building your toolkit…
