Remedial English Language Arts – High School

Description

Proficiency in English Language Arts is crucial to a student’s success in all subject areas.

Remediation courses improve skills in specific subject areas to advance learners to the appropriate curriculum level for credit bearing course readiness. Each course consists of a series of assessments and prescribes curriculum based on each assessment to determine the level a student needs to reach and help guide and support them to success.

Students receive a placement test upon entering this course. Based on the student’s score, the system prescribes him/her with a customized set of lessons that begin at the point of his/her prior knowledge and skills. The student then continues until reaching the skills necessary for his target grade level.

This program is also utilized by students wishing to skip a grade, or English Language Learners.
