High School Credit Recovery
Overview
Roosevelt’s HSCR program is chosen by students who are off track for graduation or require Day Care services. Roosevelt courses are aligned to RPS205 curriculum and standards. Students enjoy class sizes of approximately 15, providing multiple opportunities for a more personalized educational experience. Credits are earned through a proficiency-based learning model. Once students are able to demonstrate proficiency in the content and skills for a given course, through attaining a final grade of C or higher, students earn their course credit. As such, motivated and hardworking students are able to earn credits at an accelerated rate. Special education services are available to Roosevelt HSCR students. Students in good standing are eligible to participate in athletics and social events at their home high schools. All students that successfully complete the Roosevelt HSCR program graduate from Roosevelt with a traditional high school diploma. Selection Process Students interested in attending Roosevelt’s HSCR program need a referral from their home high school counselor and must attend one of Roosevelt’s quarterly informational meetings in order to apply. All applicants must be aged seventeen years or older. Students are ranked for open seats based upon the number of credits they have earned. Once all open seats are occupied, students are either placed on a waitlist or, if they are older and have fewer credits, are recommended for Roosevelt’s GED program. Students requiring daycare services have priority ranking. GED Program
At Roosevelt we are committed to providing GED students with more than a GED. Our goal is to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to gain employment with growth potential. As such, we offer remedial services for students that desire additional support. We also connect students with workshops and experiences in their selected career pathways and offer certifications relevant to students’ chosen pathways. Daycare services are available to GED students at no cost.
GED students receive blended instruction in the content areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students are able to progress independently on the i-Pathways online curriculum while teachers use formative assessment data from i-Pathways to provide targeted one-on-one and small group supports based upon identified skill deficits and weaknesses. |
Freshman Transition Program (FTP)Overview
Students deemed at a higher risk of failure in high school are initially identified by their middle school principals during eighth grade and recommended for the summer Step Up High School Bridge Program. Students who do not participate or are unsuccessful in Step Up enter high school in the Roosevelt Freshman Transition Program. Eighth grade students receiving special education services are enrolled in their home high schools in order to receive appropriate services and do not attend summer school Step Up or the Freshman Transition Program. Through this early identification process, at-risk students are provided with intensive academic and personal social supports in a smaller classroom setting. Counseling support services including weekly group counseling, weekly classroom guidance lessons, individual counseling, as well as, daily crisis and behavior intervention support services. Students are enrolled in the core freshmen courses to help them gain the necessary academic skills to stay on track. In each course students are engaged through Problem Based Learning activities and differentiated instruction. Students that achieve academic success during their first semester in the program are transitioned to their home high schools. Evening School & Summer School Credit Recovery
Rockford Public Schools offers two semesters of an evening high school program as well as a summertime high school program at Roosevelt Community Education Center where students may retake failed courses required for graduation. Students may enroll in one or two courses each semester and during the summer. School principal approval is required for registration. Night school and summer school are tuition-based programs. Course availability is subject to enrollment. Students with more than one absence in these programs must be dropped without a refund. Step Up-
High School Bridge Program Students that have failed English/language arts and math in their eighth grade year must attend Roosevelt’s Step Up summer program in order to ensure that these students are prepared for high school. Step Up students receive remedial instruction in a small class setting in English/language arts, math, and skills required for a successful high school career. |
