This makes me wonder....it would be awesome if...for freshman year long courses...grades were reported out but not captured on transcripts until the end of the school year.  In December Ss would receive "grades", for Ss below a C conversations would be had between all stakeholders to create a success plan for the S.  But there is really incentive for all Ss...come May if the end grade is substantially higher than the December grade then it would trump that grade (so there would still be Sem1 and Sem2 transcript grades ).  Those not improving would simply have whatever grade documented for December along with the grade earned for semester 2.

I agree and am impressed with the elements that we are currently doing in our school.  I think we just need to tighten it up.  PG 4 notes another element which we need to improve and that is the ideas of the summer bridge program, the career exploratory courses and the extension of the teacher/advisory programming.  What if, we sent freshmen mentors to the ML to meet their students along with link leaders?
