Designed for the “at-promise” student who needs
to earn credit, FuelEd’s new adaptive curriculum features rich
multi-media and motivational learning objects
A student’s ninth-grade “status” is the best indicator of
whether or not he or she will graduate. The University of Chicago
Consortium on Chicago School Research found that students who are
on-track after their freshman year are more than three and one-half
times more likely to graduate from high school in four years than
students who are off-track. To help engage and motivate students
who need help staying on track for graduation, Fuel Education®
(FuelEd®) is launching a new, credit recovery curriculum for
blended and online learning available this fall.
This Smart News Release features multimedia.

The new FuelEd Credit Recovery Curriculum features a modern
design with interactive content, adaptive release technology,
growth mindset and social emotional exercises to teach grit, and
powerful analytic tools—all available in a mobile and accessible
learning environment.
The courses are designed for students who need to recover
credits in order to graduate, but learned enough to make a complete
repetition of the course unnecessary. All courses are broken down
into modules, each of which starts with a pre-test to evaluate the
student’s existing knowledge. If a student demonstrates mastery
during the module’s pre-test, the courses’ adaptive release of
content allows the student to advance within the course to where he
or she needs to be. For added support and motivation, FuelEd
embedded content to teach students about grit and to help them
develop a growth mindset and social emotional learning
practices.
“We believe that ‘at-promise’ students sometimes need additional
support to overcome obstacles in their education. With the new
credit recovery curriculum, we are pleased to provide our school
and district partners rich, interactive content and tools to help
them better engage students so they can stay on the path to
graduation,” said Gregg Levin, Fuel Education’s General
Manager.
The new courses also include English Language Learners (ELL)
support, including non-linguistic representation of content, audio
demonstrations and pre-teaching of key vocabulary in both English
and Spanish.
The FuelEd Credit Recovery Curriculum can be taught by district
teachers or FuelEd’s certified teachers. Its advanced analytic
tools include visual dashboards to make it easy for teachers to see
how a class is performing as a whole or how individual students are
progressing through courses. Teachers can generate personalized
reports to drive targeted remediation for individual students or
small groups.
The new curriculum will be released in phases, beginning with
Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, English 9, English 10, and Spanish
1 in the fall, including updated health and physical education
courses. FuelEd offers a total of 19 credit recovery courses. To
