How Credit Recovery is Helping Students in Chicago Recover From Attendance Setbacks

At Emil G. Hirsch Metropolitan High School in Chicago, chronic absenteeism leaves some students short of the credits they need, even when they’ve learned much of the material. Crissy Hall-Neely, an interventionist and English teacher, share how credit recovery is helping them keep attendance challenges from becoming a barrier to graduation.

Through Edmentum Courseware, eligible students can build on what they’ve already learned, complete unfinished coursework, and continue making progress toward graduation. That opportunity is especially powerful at Hirsch Metro, where some students will be the first in their families to earn a high school diploma. 

Hear how credit recovery with Courseware is empowering students to:

• Focus on the learning they missed rather than repeat entire courses
• Complete failed or incomplete coursework due to absenteeism
• Make a clear investment in rigorous learning through the program
• Build strong student-teacher relationships that keep them on track
