Credit Recovery is popular these days after the pandemic.  Districts and schools are working hard to help students recover their credits lost during that time.   

 

The question is how should we have credit recovery in the schools? What works best? Online, Hybrid? Face-to-Face?  Many options are there, but districts are going for the most efficient and worrying about any consequences later - after the damage is done.  

 

Are students truly learning from these programs? OR are they worse off, lacking the actual skills they should have learned?  And falling further behind? 

 

Are students placed in these programs because they lack the skills to have been placed in the classes in the first place? And falling further behind? 

 

Join us as we try to figure this out.
