Foundations CoursesFoundations courses meet the needs of both high school students and transitioning middle school students who are not prepared for grade-level academic challenges. Foundations courses develop skills and strategies in math, reading, and writing with the goal of raising achievement to a high school level. Courses feature structured remediation designed to accelerate mastery of required skills appropriate to grades 3 to 8. Foundations courses have been designed to be age-appropriate with respect to content, illustrations, and examples for students ages 13 and older. Each semester course offers approximately 70–90 hours of interactive direct instruction, guided practice, and integrated formative, summative, and diagnostic assessment. |
