Motivating At-Risk Students through Flexible Summer School Opportunities.

Cale, James

NASSP Bulletin, v76 n545 p106-09 Sep 1992

Traditional summer remedial programs to help students salvage academic credit have limited success. At-risk students at one Missouri high school contract to earn academic credit for core courses failed during the previous school year. Students must log at least 30 attendance hours over a 6-week period at their own convenience. The program's success rate is 90 percent. (four references) (MLH)
