How Does Credit Recovery Work at Insight School of Idaho?
Credit recovery is a key component of alternative education at Insight School of Idaho. Students who are behind in credits can make up lost ground through targeted credit recovery courses. Here’s how credit recovery at Insight School of Idaho works:
- Focused Learning: Students can focus only on the material they need to pass to master state standards, rather than repeating an entire course.
- Self-Paced Structure: Online credit recovery courses allow students to move at their own pace within a specified time, advancing through units they understand and spending more time on challenging areas.
- Testing Out of Mastered Content: Students can test out of content they’ve already mastered, keeping them engaged and motivated to succeed.
This structured yet flexible approach helps students achieve the credits needed for graduation without unnecessary repetition, enabling them to stay on track with their peers.
