eSchool News offers crucial insight on credit recovery curriculum

Jan. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Bethesda, Md. – eSchool News (eSN) will host an upcoming webinar, “Launching a Successful Summer School/Credit Recovery Program”.

Sponsored by Aventa Learning by K12, the webinar will take place Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. EDT (11:00 a.m. PST). The duration is expected to be one hour, and registration is free.

Aventa's online credit recovery curriculum provides schools with a cost-effective, comprehensive and flexible tool to help students pass courses and get the high school credits they need to graduate. Courses are designed for students who did not pass a course initially, but learned enough to make a complete repetition of the course unnecessary. In these courses, students can test out of the material they have already learned and focus on what they need to demonstrate achievement of essential content standards.

The webinar, presented by Spotsylvania County (VA) School District and Chicago Public Schools, in partnership with Aventa Learning by K12, will offer real-world examples of how schools can successfully incorporate online credit recovery courses.

Attendees will take away best practices for implementing a virtual summer school/credit recovery program, including:
•   Program planning and training
•   Student engagement tactics
•   Managing student enrollment and course participation
•   Reporting
