CR Updates for Jan. 6, 2010.
1. Mastery Charts and Status Reports: Final mastery charts will be messaged to the students within Blackboard and emailed to parents and DLAs by 5pm on Monday, January 11th. The Status Reports will be available in the registration system (REPORTS section) on Tuesday, January 12th. Teachers sent out updates to DLAs and students this week.
2. Last Day To Submit Work: The end of the semester is quickly approaching. The last day for students to submit work in Credit Recovery courses is Thursday, January 14th. Please remind students to communicate with their teacher to determine their status in the course and what they need to do to finish the course by Thursday, January 14th.
3. Information about final grades/NonMastery reporting: To recap previously stated information, only students who master the entire course will receive a final grade. NCVPS does not provide grades for students who do not master the entire course. We are a mastery learning model, and while we provide a final course grade to schools for students who master the course material, we cannot provide grades for students who do not finish the course. Since the course is self-paced, we do not have an accurate grade to provide unless the entire course is mastered. One assignment could equal a 100 while the student has done no more work. This would be misleading and inaccurate to all. This is why we will provide a NonMastery for those students who do not finish the course on the final grade report.
All final grades and NonMasteries will come out on the final grade report on January 20. This is the final grade report for all NCVPS courses, and it will appear in the REPORTS section in the NCVPS registration system.
