Credit Recovery Information
What is Credit Recovery?
Many life experiences can lead to students falling behind and failing a course, resulting in them being credit deficient. This credit deficiency can prevent students from graduating and can be due to excessive absences, inability to keep pace with the rest of the class, personal difficulties, and learning disabilities, to name a few reasons.
Credit Recovery provides students with the opportunity to earn their credits and make progress towards their graduation requirements.
How does it work?
At MGLVA, students who have failed a core class (one that is supported by a K12 Credit Recovery course) are assigned to that class, which is designed to help that student work through the content information he/she has yet to master. All Credit Recovery courses are taught by Michigan-certified teachers in that content area, and they are aligned to state standards. Students must demonstrate mastery before receiving a pass/fail credit.
In addition to teaching live sessions to help with mastery of material, Credit Recovery teachers send communication to the students and assigned counselor and advisor if the students are struggling in the course, are not working, or have not logged in.
Course Assignment
During the scheduling process, the counselor identifies students who are credit deficient/have failed a core class and schedules them in the appropriate credit recovery course (if applicable. The credit deficient students are closely monitored by both the teaching staff and counseling departments to ensure that they are back on track to meet the state graduation requirements.
Students’ schedules will be reviewed on an individual basis to determine if they will be placed in the next level core course while taking the Credit Recovery course or if they will only take Credit Recovery. This is to ensure that students have the best chance possible to be successful in their courses while also addressing the deficient credits.
Additionally, CR students will be placed into a Homeroom with a credit recovery teacher to provide wraparound support. These Homerooms will follow the same guidelines and connection opportunities as other Homerooms.
