Why this? Why now? • SAAPs identified disproportionately (ESSA)
low 4 year graduation rates – many student in credit-recovery.
• What does “success” look like for alternative programs?
• Questions raised through work with programs and national trends.

Credit Recovery is a strategy that allows students to retake courses that are required for graduation after an unsuccessful attempt.

What does the research tell us about credit recovery?
• 89% of schools report offering credit recovery,15% of students engaged in some form of credit recovery
• Higher grad rates linked with more credit recovery.
• High school graduation impacts educational outcomes and labor market outcomes

What does the research tell us about credit recovery? (cont)
• There is much variation in the way in which credit recovery is offered to students.
• Students attempting to recover credit without supports are less likely to succeed.
• Personalized, competency-based strategies are a promising evidence-based practice.

Primary research questions
Q1. What data are schools collecting and using to assess
programs, identify and track students, and make
programmatic decisions?
Q2. How are students experiencing credit recovery programs
(identification, referral, and student pathway through
programs)?
Q3. How are decisions being made about offering credit
recovery programs, and what staff are involved in making
those decisions?

Primary research questions (continued)
Q4. What students are being served? Are certain student
characteristics associated with certain types of credit
recovery?
Q5. What programs are offered, and what do those programs
look like in terms of structure, support, and prevalence across
schools?

Relationships“I think…one of the more successful strategies that we’ve used is that using that homeroom advisory to support that process…every student in our school should be able to identify one staff member to which they feel they have a good rapport and relation with…if they’ve got social emotional needs that need support too it opens up to meet with the social worker …so, I think that’s really served us well over the years.”

Preemptive strategies to avoid credit recovery
• Early identification of struggling students.
• Frequent reassessment of student success in all courses.
• Additional supports in “high-fail” courses.
• Lowering the bar to raise the pass rate.

“We look at many different variables. One is just the overall course content and course success rate to see where that is. Because if a course is low performing, it could be the course, it could be the teacher, it could be multiple different things. But if several teachers have the same course and it's low performing across the board, then we look at the course and say, how can we adjust this to make it better?”

“Sometimes as many hours as we offer, it's surprising to see that…- it takes longer than you would think for students to finish these courses, but when you think about it, though, you got to remember these are the students that didn't pass the first time in their classes, and some - sometimes they're even repeating it a third time as far as trying to pass the class.”
