When will Credit Recovery be ready?
All Credit Recovery courses are available.
The Credit Recovery experience will be implemented with auto-graded pretests for each unit and leverage Canvas's bulk excuse feature to allow students to skip content and assessments they have already mastered while still being able to go back and view that content.
It is important not to rearrange the content to ensure the flow of the course as intended.
When will updated alignments be ready?
Alignments for revised or new courses will be available in 2025 (exact dates TBD).
Are any StrongMind courses being retired?
StrongMind will no longer be offering 3rd party CTE courses, and is releasing StrongMind authored courses as a replacement, as shown in the table above.
Additionally, MS Photography will be sunset as the content is duplicative of HS Photography which customers can still utilize.
When will all these courses be ready for loading?
Projected fall delivery starting in June 2024 and November 2024 (2 of 2s)
