Credit & Concept Recovery

Helping students catch up, keep up, and graduate on time

Edgenuity’s credit-recovery courses allow students to stay on track for on-time graduation. Self-paced learning and pretesting with prescription allow students to spend more time on what they need and less time on content they have already mastered. Since every course is able to be customized to match district specifications, educators can be confident that students have built a strong foundation for the next grade or course.

Pretesting and prescription

Before each lesson, students take a quiz designed to assess mastery of the content. If students meet the district’s passing threshold, they can place out of content they already know. Any content students master on pretest will be revisited in cumulative tests and exams, providing an additional check for mastery.

Customizable courses

Educators can customize courses to focus only on the standards they choose. They can also customize the assignment types students complete in credit-recovery courses, to provide more or fewer writing assignments, projects, and other teacher-graded activities.

General Expectations

As a student, you are expected to:

· Attend class every day and be on time.

· Be prepared with all appropriate materials.

· Respect the people, equipment, and furnishings of our classroom.

· Participate in all class activities.

Student Responsibility

Part of being a high school student means you are becoming more responsible for your own education. This means you must advocate for yourself. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to use the edgenuity website from home to stay on track.
