About Escalera

The Escalera program is designed as a postsecondary access program, incorporating a culturally affirming curriculum and advising for mid-level achieving students. Escalera uses culturally responsive materials and learning strategies to develop the following core competencies: education, career, leadership, and foundational skills. The Escalera curriculum builds skills and understanding in each of these areas through a series of 45-90-minute lessons with approximately six core modules delivered over the academic year. In addition, thirty-six supplemental modules are available for implementation.
