Title:Credit recovery and proficiency-based credit: Maintaining high expectations while providing flexibility
Source:http://www.ecs.org/clearinghouse/94/23/9423.pdf
Date:2011
Organization:Education Commission of the States
Short Description:Many education stakeholders at the state and local level are wondering how it is possible to raise high school graduation rates while increasing the number and rigor of courses required for a high school diploma. Credit recovery and proficiency-based credit are being adopted by a growing number of states that are working to simultaneously increase graduation rates, create a default “college/ career-ready” high school curriculum, and provide acceleration options for students.
Annotation:This issue of The Progress of Education Reform will address the following questions: What is credit recovery? What is proficiency-based credit? How is credit recovery different from traditional remediation? Why does providing for these options matter for high school completion? How widespread are these options across the states? And what do state policies look like? What are the challenges in implementing credit recovery and proficiency-based credit programs? What does the research say on the effectiveness of credit recovery and proficiency-based credit? What are the essential policy components?
