Credit Recovery

2018 — Away from the traditional setting, students in the PACE classroom move at their own speed to independently work through Apex Learning – a digital curriculum endorsed by the College Board. Richard Trotter, the adult in the room, is more of a facilitator than instructor. Instead of listening to multiple teachers throughout the day, students engage one subject at a time for as many weeks as it takes to finish their eighth-grade course requirements.

The Salamanca Press — 2018 — Over the summer, the district offered several online courses through Apex Learning where students could recover credits they didn’t get during the regular school year. “We had some fantastic results, from graduation all the way through summer school and the Regents exams,” said High School Principal Chris Siebert. “A lot of kids are earning credits that they didn’t quite earn in June.”

TEAM’s students use a computer-based curriculum called Apex Learning to select classes from a full range of core academic subjects and electives.
