Special Student Populations

The Greater Option: Reaching the Credit Deficient Student Online and Creating a Pathway to Graduation

Tuesday, February 25, 2025
11:35 AM – 11:45 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: M302
Session Type: PechaKucha
Abstract Description : As online student populations evolve, educational programs must rethink how to reach all students where they are and how to set them up for success.  The Kiel eSchool saw a great need among our at-risk population, and developed & adapted the Greater Options program (A General Education Diploma Option also known as GEDO#2) for online students. This program is a rigorous, competency-based alternative path to a high school diploma that also includes components of on-job work experience and community service. Greater Options Online is the virtual option for guiding students from engaged student learning to active citizenship.

Learning Objectives:

  • consider and evaluate their own populations for the need for other options for at-risk and credit deficient students toward a high school diploma.
  • take action on one or two new ideas to help bring struggling and credit deficient students across the graduation finish line.
  • evaluate their current course status to see where modifications could be made for student success.
