Credit Recovery:
Ombudsman’s credit recovery program allows students to recover credits lost through transfers, suspension, expulsion, and failing or missing classes. Students who want or need additional credits may enroll in Ombudsman to pick up an additional course or courses, with the approval of their school district. All credits earned and grades earned are converted to the same units used by school districts. Ombudsman students earn 88 percent of credits they attempt.
Technology
Ombudsman uses technology to keep students engaged, focused and successful. Computer-assisted learning allows teachers to work directly with students to answer questions and ensure mastery of content, instead of serving as the source of content information for a group of students. This allows teachers to provide personalized instruction to each student at the appropriate skill level.
Completing assignments on computer stations eliminates any
embarrassment associated with wrong answers. Students work at their own pace and benefit from increased interaction with teachers in a small learning environment. The result is motivated, successful students who graduate from high school.
