Challenge
Students taking Ohio state exams need to earn a minimum of 18 points out of 35 across seven end-of-course exams in order to graduate. For students preparing to retake the exams, the district needed to identify and remediate learning gaps.
Solution
The district implemented a pilot program in two high schools with Apex Learning Tutorials to prepare students for end-of-course retakes. Adaptive Tutorials provided focused instruction to remediate students’ learning gaps. Scaffolds and supports helped students stay motivated to learn more challenging material and feel prepared for the tests.
Results
- 50% of students increased their end-of-course exam scores
- Average retake scores increased 14 points, from 676 to 690
With the success of the pilot program, the district site coordinator and high school principals are planning for a strategic implementation of Tutorials to support more students preparing for end-of-course exams.
