Credit Recovery
Turn Struggle into Success for Students Who Fall Behind
K¹²’s online courses can give students the opportunity to retake courses in order to catch up with peers, build self-esteem, and – in high school – graduate on time.
Who Can Benefit
Here are several examples the types of students who can benefit from K12 courses:
- Students who fail semester one of Algebra I in the fall can retake K¹²’s semester one Algebra course in the spring, followed by semester two over the summer.
- Students failing any course in mid-semester can catch up with the rest of their class by taking our course after school hours in the school computer lab or at home if they have access to a computer.
- Students can take an entire K¹² course over the summer to make up lost credits to remain at grade level, as well as stay on track for graduation.
Benefits of our Courses for Credit Recovery
Research indicates that reuse of the same content (which was unsuccessful the first time around) is not a successful practice.
Our courses provide a fresh set of content
for the student with new approaches to teaching "unlearned" concepts. If your student failed to initially grasp concepts, she may need a different representation of the concept in order to learn, along with ample opportunities to practice.
Our courses utilize engaging interactive content
to illustrate and explain the toughest concepts in ways no static page (print or Web) could ever match.
Our textbooks and materials are integrated with the online content
providing students with multiple ways to understand a concept as well as solve problems or perform activities to reinforce the material. For students retaking content, computer-based study involves more individualized activity.
Mastery of concepts is critical
for successful completion of the course. Our courses have lesson, unit, and semester assessments to ensure that the student is grasping key objectives.
Of course, the role of the teacher remains invaluable
in providing instructional guidance to struggling students. We can train your teachers or offer ours to augment your staff. K¹² offers schools a cost-effective option to use our certified teachers, fully-trained to successfully deliver K¹² courses in a virtual setting.
