At the August 2020 Committee on Student Achievement and School innovation, the Committee directed Administration to convene small groups of high school teachers in English, math, science and social studies to develop online courses for credit recovery or acceleration that are culturally relevant, self-paced, standards based and engaging.
An online application was developed asking for basic information from interested teachers. The application included a couple of open-ended questions related to curriculum, cultural relevance, and student outcomes. The application questions were as follows:
