APEX Credit Recovery
Flexibility to Meet Diverse Needs
For many students, the need to recover only one or two course credits is all that stands between them and graduation from high school. These students may have already satisfied seat time requirements for a course in which they were unsuccessful — and may have learned a significant amount of what was expected of them. These students are seeking an opportunity to accelerate through the required course material to earn those final credits.
Other students are ill prepared for high school coursework and have failed several classes. For these students, the challenge of making up the required credits is daunting. If the only option is to repeat the same course, in the same traditional format as the first time, the chance of success is low. Not wanting to fail again, these students are at increased risk of dropping out — or may have already dropped out. With support, these students can be successful.
Apex Learning digital curriculum makes it possible to offer a credit recovery program that can address the diverse needs of all these credit-recovery students.
Individualized Instruction Fosters Student Success
With Apex Learning online courses, students can progress at their own pace, taking as much — or as little — time as necessary to master the material. Particularly significant for credit-recovery students, unit-level diagnostics allow students to move quickly over material they have previously mastered. Direct instruction incorporates multimedia — in the form of images, audio, video, animations, and interactive elements — along with instructional text to provide students with multiple representations of concepts as well as address their different learning styles. This could be just what is required for a previously unsuccessful student to succeed in rigorous high school courses.
