Credit Recovery Solutions

IMPLEMENT A CREDIT RECOVERY PROGRAM

Students need a mastery-based path tailored to their individual needs . Every course in the BYU High School Suite curriculum can be leveraged to help them recover lost or missing credit .

Students take unit pretests to determine the topics they have mastered and where they are deficient. Based on their performance, students will be given a path (mastery, near mastery, or non-mastery) to learn all the material without spending unnecessary time on what they already know. Using this approach, you can run a credit recovery program without placing a large instructional burden on your existing teacher resources .

CREDIT RECOVERY PROGRAM CONSULTATION

Our academic outreach consultants understand the unique needs of a credit recovery program and will help you identify how to best meet the needs of each of your students. Working with your consultant, you’ll find that aligning your credit recovery program with your mission and goals is easier than you might expect .

DIGITAL CLASSROOM CURRICULUM

By using our online content in the classroom, your students can work on new concepts on their own, freeing up teachers to work with students who need more individualized support. Some students may perform better following a digital-only program while others may thrive in one supplemented with classroom instruction and group activities .

Thanks to built-in analytical tools, our online content is easy to adapt to the requirements of teachers and the varying needs of students in a blended learning environment. Even new teachers can easily navigate and deliver our course content after selecting and modifying the needed objectives and modules, which are highly customizable.

BENEFITS OF BLENDED LEARNING

The past few years have taught many educators that flexible education options can provide valuable benefits. BYU High School Suite clients tell us about major benefits of blended learning using our courses . Student Retention: Students who seek flexible online education stay with their local school, completing much or most of their coursework online . This allows the district and school to keep home-schooled and/ or virtual high school students and retain the associated funding .

Accommodation of Student Needs: Many students still want to participate in school clubs, dances, sports, and other activities. Blended programs allow them to study mostly on their own while still being able to access all the social activities the school offers .

Robust Analytics: Teachers with blended classrooms can monitor student pace and progress through the online course portal . Time spent in the course, last visit to the course, assignment submissions, and many other progress indicators are tracked automatically .

Financial Savings: By offering blended education programs, schools and districts save the overhead costs of a full-time, on-campus course, including facilities costs, administrative time, teacher labor, and other expenses .
