Credit recovery is traditionally defined as a way to “recover” credit for a course that a student was previously unsuccessful in earning academic credit towards graduation. It differs greatly from programs that allow students to earn “first time credit” in that students having already taken a course in which they were unsuccessful so the student can focus on earning credit based on competency of the content standards for the particular course. Many credit recovery models in Jeffco are mastery based.

Best Practice: Utilize that face-to-face time
Most credit have a significant face-to-face component. "[|The blended approach is important because it provides expanded student support and face-to-face contact. The online component provides 21st century skills to a group of students who often have less than average exposure to computers and technology."] Make sure to utilize that face-to-face time by working with students in small groups or with partners to work on a concept that they may not have mastered.
