Schools are continually meeting challenges and finding ways to overcome hurdles in student achievement. Online Credit Recovery Courses can help:

• Make Up Student Credits For Graduation

• Meet Graduation Rate Deadlines

• Prepare Students For State Exams

• Get Dropout Students Back In School

• Provide Educational Equity To Each Student

• Meet Budgetary Concerns While Trying To Serve Each Student

The WVS Credit Recovery classes from Aventa Learning are designed for students who failed required classes and need to make up credits for graduation. In these classes, students can test out of the material they have already learned and focus on what they need to demonstrate achievement on the essential content standards.

Because these classes can be taken at any time, students can begin the learning process before they fail another class because they did not have that foundational knowledge. For example, a student could begin a credit recovery class for first semester as soon as it becomes clear that they will not pass, even before the semester has ended.

 "No Child Left Behind" legislation and related state laws make the achievement of every student important. Schools must meet graduation rate deadlines, and state tests focus attention on achievement for all students. In the past, schools had few resources outside of summer school for students who failed. Students can also gain the needed learning in time to perform well on state exams. Online Credit Recovery courses are a cost effective and flexible way to get students back in school or keep them in school.

How does it work?

Students begin each unit of their course by taking formative assessments to determine their areas of weakness. When their performance on these assessments indicate they are ready, they can take the summative assessments and go on to the next learning unit. The class content is closely keyed to the formative assessments, so they will only do the work they need to succeed. The classes are largely self-directed, so students can work at their own pace, repeating difficult lessons as needed and skipping those that are not needed. WVS provides a Wisconsin certified teacher that will guide the student through the course, providing help as needed.

What is the cost?

$270 per student per course. Most credit recovery courses do NOT require textbooks, except American History, which can be obtained online through a subscription. See the course descriptions for more information.
