Making a
Smart Investment in K-12 Online Learning: A Path to Graduation
Schools are continually meeting challenges and
finding ways to overcome hurdles for students facing unique
educational challenges. Wisconsin Virtual School (WVS), the
Wisconsin Web Academy, as designated by the DPI, provides online
alternatives for students needing to make up critical credits
for graduation. School districts that are wanting to improve
graduation rates for ALL students, trying to get dropout
students back in school, have a desire to provide educational
equity to each student, or have challenging budgetary concerns
while trying to serve EACH student utilize the WVS state-led
supplemental online program.
WVS has served districts since 2000. Summer
success rates for credit or content recovery students is 81%.The
number of students taking online courses this fall that are
identified as “at–risk” such as credit recovery, expelled,
homebound, or other reasons is 17% of the total enrollments.
Online learning is particularly well suited for students
recovering credit or content, because it allows for
individualized instruction, both by the teacher and through the
use of course management technology. A critical factor for
online learning to be successful also includes the support a
student receives locally by a mentor working with the online
teacher.
