EDUCATION 2020

Credit Recovery Program Update

Who is eligible for E2020?

(From OHS Guide to Curriculum) Any student who was previously enrolled but did not earn credit in a course specifically required by the Michigan Merit Curriculum.

Any student who completed make up credit and as a result is out of sequence for a course. For example, a student who does not earn credit in the first semester of Algebra 1 may make up that credit during the second semester, then continue the E2020 Algebra 1 course during the summer in order to enroll in the next course in the math sequence.

Any student with an active Individualized Education Plan (IEP) who receives one class period or more of resource per day and seeks enrollment at the Capital Area Career Center (CACC).

Students unable to attend the regular school day due to prolonged illness or suspension, with administrative approval.

Fee Structure

$100 per semester course $50 per semester course for

students who qualify for free/reduced lunch

Students who complete their assigned course with a passing grade by the designated end date receive a $25 rebate

Students enrolled via administrative approval pay no fee

Grading(From OHS Guide to Curriculum)

Grades earned through the E2020 program will be recorded on the transcript as a “G” and will replace the previous grade if applicable. This indicates that credit was earned and has no impact on the cumulative grade point average, other than the removal of the failing grade.

Students enrolled via administrative approval may receive a letter grade if desired

Overall, the program was determined a success. Certainly, it is hoped that the passing rate will increase, but bear in mind that in this subset of students a passing rate of 71% is a dramatic improvement over a passing rate of 0%.

Back in the Fold Examined performance of 43 students

enrolled in 48 OHS classes of the same subject for which the student had been enrolled in E2020. Eighty five percent (85%) earned a passing grade for semester one.

What is Next for E2020?

We will compare semester one and semester two attendance and course completion.

We will set dates and fees for the summer program.

May seek review of E2020 course structure by OHS teachers.

Looking for a teacher interested in piloting unit recovery rather than credit recovery with a student.
