Six TGU Guiding Principles
Maximize Collaboration
Shared objectives and strategies across district, advisory groups, and partners build sustainable supports for students and families.
Student Voice & Family Engagement
Programming is centered on student and family input through workshops, surveys, and advisory groups.
Education Prepares Graduates for Life
Programming honors multiple post-HS pathways: 2-/4-year college, technical diplomas, apprenticeships, military, direct workforce entry.
Leveraging Emerging Technologies for 21st-Century Learning
Innovative tech and digital tools (e.g., TI, YES) elevate teaching and learning.
Dual Enrollment
Personalized DE advising and an expanded portfolio of DE courses and pathways drive postsecondary enrollment.
Data-Informed Decision Making
District-/student-level data, partner inputs, and evaluator findings drive proactive and reactive interventions throughout the grant cycle.
