BRIDGES OUTREACH YEAR ROUND STAAR EXIT RECOVERY CLASS

 

By monitoring children progressing through Bridges, an issue arose with the Exit Level Test that seniors must pass to graduate. In the spring semester of 2006, several seniors discovered that they had not passed the Exit Test-after preparing to graduate with their class.

 

Bridges developed a TASK Exit Level Recovery Class that met four weeks before the retest in June. A certified teacher targeted deficit skills with intensive instruction and achieved a 60% passing rate. The class runs concurrently with the Bridges Summer Program. The TAKS Exit Level Recovery Class has been extended to the Fall and Spring. Overall passing rate is at 78% as of the 2007-2008 school session. The sessions are continuing.
