We had a student who came to us as a senior. She was two credits behind, and had been expelled from her home school. By coming to our school and using Aventa, she was able to get the Credit Recovery she needed in addition to her regular classes. She graduated on time.

Local Mentor Support Helps Students Stay on Track
To help students succeed in an online learning environment, Aventa Learning Coaches support and train on-site Mentors who are appointed by the school and provide regular, on-site support. Aventa Mentors know the students, help them stay on track, provide exam proctoring and serve as important liaisons between the online teacher and the school community.
Aventa's training and tools guide mentors through difficult periods. In fact, we have developed a set of documented processes that help hold students accountable for their work, called a Student Action Plan. Our Aventa Learning Coaches help onsite mentors, teachers and parents understand where students have fallen off course.
Here is an example from our Aventa Student Action Plan:
For a more personal, complete look at the tools we provide our mentors, teachers or administrators, connect with us and we'll be happy to show you more.Slow Pace/Passing
Definition: Students who have enrolled for more than 7 days and turned in assignments within 14 days, but a variance of 11 – 30% concerning pacing. These students hold a grade equal to or higher than 70%.
Action Plan: Every other week, the teacher will email the students and their mentors and parents (if applicable):
1 Explaining why the student is considered at risk (class grade/slow pacing),
2. Asking student for reasons why off-pace, and
3. Asking student to email a new pacing schedule to the teacher.
Sample Email:
Student, Mentor, and Parent:
According to our records, while your course average is 70% or above, you are behind schedule in submitting your assignments. It is crucial for your success to log in daily and submit assignments according to your pacing schedule.
Please let your school mentor and me know if there are reasons why you are off-pace and when you plan on becoming active again. Please also send an updated pacing schedule, so we can help you get and stay on track.
If there is anything further I can do to help, please do not hesitate to contact me.
