PURPOSE OF THE PASS PROGRAM

• Reduce the dropout rate

• Increase the re-entry and retention rate

• Address academic and non-academic risk

factors for students who are under credited

by one year or less

Three PASS programs

• PASS Daytime Credit Recovery

• PASS Extended Day Credit Recovery

• PASS Institute Drop-out Re-engagement

Daytime Credit

Recovery

• Current Marshall

students needing to

recover credits

• Online instruction for 1-

2 class periods each

day

Extended Day Credit Recovery

• Students needing to recover credits take

online courses from 2:45 - 7:00 p.m. daily

• Participants include students from Marshall

and other Chicago high schools as well as

dropouts who work during the day and must

attend the evening program, rather than the

Institute Drop-out Re-engagement program

PASS Institute Drop-out Re-engagement

• Students come from all over the city

• Three seven-hour sessions per day

• Emphasis on helping students be successful

INTERVENTIONS IN FOUR AREAS

• Identification and diagnosis

• Effective and relevant instruction

• Behavioral interventions and social supports

• Student, family, and community involvement.

Key practices

• Relationships: Students develop strong

relationships with PASS staff members

• Peer-to-Peer mentoring: PASS students

develop a sense of community and self-worth

when they mentor another PASS student.

Key practices

• FuelEd online courses: Comprehensive and

rigorous courses enable students to work at

their own pace; discover their own learning

preferences, strengths, and weaknesses.

• Wraparound services: The support,

services, and individual attention that PASS

students receive is critical for helping them

mature and achieve academic success.

Success stories

I had trouble in school because I had bad

attendance, bad behavior, and then I had a baby. I

stopped coming to school because I did not feel

good. PASS has helped me monitor my classes and

PASS is good for the kids that are willing to

accomplish their goal and kids that want to make it

somewhere. The PASS program has helped students

to finish classes and go to college.

-Kadeeshia L.

I used to have trouble at school because I had way

too many arguments and fights. But one of the main

reasons I stopped coming to school was because I

was pregnant and had no transportation. I lost all my

ambition and inspiration for school which made me

give up. I actually love school because I want to

further my education, even after high school. PASS

has helped me a lot because I am more focused up

here and things that distracted me before do not up

here. I feel like the kids in PASS are motivated,

responsible, and dedicated to school. PASS gives

students a chance to try again and it gives students

ambition and help some to graduate!

-Desirae

Myth: Teachers are being replaced by technology!

Myths:

Cheating is easy in an online class.

Online learning is easy.

Myth:

Students are comfortable with technology and want to

learn with it.
