Credit Recovery Updates [E-lert for Feb. 25]

1. Mastery Charts and Status Reports
The first mastery charts were messaged to the students within Blackboard and emailed to parents and DLAs by 5pm on Monday, February 8th. The Status Report was made available in the registration system on Tuesday, February 9th. Mastery Charts and Status Reports will be provided bi-weekly during the spring semester. If you are new to this program and this is your first time receiving Mastery charts, you may wish to view this presentation detailing how students are assessed in Credit Recovery and how to "read" Mastery charts and status reports. http://content.flypaper.net/0a56d50a-f6dd-45c1-9032-633cecea4985/preview.aspx For the Mastery Chart schedule, click the following link: http://www.scribd.com/doc/18170808/Mastery-Chart-Schedule

2. Teacher Contact
The Credit Recovery teachers are required to make weekly contact with their students. Many teachers connect with their students on Pronto. However, if the student does not have access to a computer at home, the teachers may contact by phone. If the teacher does not have correct contact information or cannot reach the student and/or parent, it becomes difficult. You may receive a request for help from teachers with this piece of the program. If you are able to provide additional contact information or advice on how/when to contact the parents, it would be very helpful!

3. Training
We have created several training pieces for those of you that are new to our program. The training folder is located in Blackboard in the DLA Spa under the "Credit Recovery" Tab. Reviewing the information in the training folder will help you understand the foundation and procedures for our program.
