Cycle Recovery Essentials 2016-17

Cycle Recovery

Cycle Recovery is the second level of intervention. This program is implemented at the end of each grading cycle for students who were not successful in the traditional classroom setting. A student who receives a failing grade for a cycle grading period is subject to all eligibility consequences, but in order to promote overall course success (credit and STAAR End-of- Course exam), the student is given an opportunity to raise the failing cycle grade to 70% using district recovery initiatives. A student is eligible for the Cycle Recovery program starting from the time a student’s failing cycle grade is submitted and ending when the next cycle has completed. For example, if a student receives a final grade lower than 70% for a six-week cycle, s/he will initiate the recovery for which content is aligned to the failed cycle. While the student continues to receive regular, ongoing instruction in that course, s/he will be assigned a designated time by campus administration to again work through the concepts not previously mastered. Once the student demonstrates mastery of the assigned concepts through the cycle recovery program, s/he will be awarded a recovered grade, not to exceed 70%, for the previously failed cycle. The course completion form will be filed in the student’s cumulative folder.
