SEMESTER CREDITS
WHY WOULD WE DO THIS? (pros)
- Easier transition for Warrior Academy students
- Easier transition for transfer students
- Eliminates current “coasting” for students who “know”
they cannot fail
- Credit Recovery can begin sooner (and we can
mandate this because there is no cost)
- Challenges students to achieve all year long
- College Credit Plus says all college classes (even
though a semester in length) must account for 1 whole
high school credit
- More value to a semester exam and final exam
(preparing for future education)
