FORREST  \nEdD Candidate, Walden University  \nAchieving Student-Centered Success on the High School Exit Exam: Five Components of an Effective Remediation Program  \nHigh schools spend incredible amounts of time and resources toward preparing students for high school exit exams. A predicament arises when some students continue failing the exam and are in danger of not receiving a high school diploma. This article describes 5 components of an exit exam remediation program through which to equip and empower students who have failed the exit exam at least once to pass the English Language Arts section of an exit exam. An effective remediation program must not only prepare the students for the exam but also ensure the students master the standards of learning expected of high school graduates. Also, the components must be viewed in light of the unique educational and life needs of students who have failed an exit exam at least once. Therefore, the components are standards aligned with student-centered approaches to learning and assessment.  \nThe final bell rings. A 17-year-old from the Philippines, Anthony (pseud  \nonym), saunters in. His head is shaved and he is wearing a gray hooded  \nsweatshirt. He sits in a desk in the front row, slouches in his seat, and pulls the hood over his head. He takes out his notebook and a pencil and waits for instructions. He has been in my Exit Exam Intervention course for months. Like Anthony, a third of the students in the class are English language learners. He began the course frustrated because he has already failed the exit exam two times. Fortunately, he is passing all of his required courses, but this exit exam is the final and very ominous hurdle to graduation. During the past few months he has cleared up confusions about main ideas and themes, he has developed a more academic vocabulary, and he has learned how to organize his thoughts before writing an essay.  \nI call Anthony. He looks up, pulls down his hood, and slowly walks to my desk, wondering why he’s in trouble. I pull out a report with his name on it. It’sthe results of the last exit exam! His heart races as he sits next to me. I smile, extend my hand, and energetically exclaim,“Congratulations! You passed the exam! You’re going to graduate!”  \nAnthony’s shoulders relax, his jaw drops, and he breathes a long sigh of  \n148 • The CATESOL Journal 21.1 • 2009/2010  \nrelief as he grabs his knees. He composes himself and mutters,“Thank you! My dad will be proud. Now I can go to college and become an interior designer.”  \nAn interior designer! Who knew? I was stunned. Anthony never mentioned going to college, much less wanting to become an interior designer. He confided that he didn’t want to tell anyone because he was scared he wouldn’t graduate. He didn’t want to look foolish. Then I realized there are likely more unspoken dreams in the class. Anthony’s situation is not unique. What can be done to help students finally pass the exit exam and actively pursue their life goals?  \nHigh school exit exams, also known as graduation exams, are of great importance in this age of accountability. High schools invest incredible amounts of time and resources toward preparing students for the exams. There are prepackaged curriculum guides, practice workbooks, study guides, and computerbased preparation materials, just to list a few. Yet, a predicament occurs when students do not pass the exam the first time. A more pressing concern arises when some students continue failing three or four more times and are in danger of not receiving a high school diploma. What can be done for students who, for various reasons, have difficulty passing the exam?  \nIn this article I present recommendations for how to equip and empower students who have failed the exit exam at least once to pass the English Language Arts (ELA) section of the exit exam. It is the hope that these recommendations and shared experiences will spark thoughtful and honest consideration ","cbCaiipfDZxeH0TU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiipfDZxeH0TU","pdf",199215,14,"English","# Table 1\n## Essential Components of an ELA Exit Exam Remediation Program\n## Use standards-based approaches\n## Develop authentic real-world applications\n## Increase student engagement and confidence\n## Use authentic student-centered assessments\n## Provide opportunity to learn\n# Does Practice Really Make Perfect?","[{\"question\":\"Why do some students remain at risk after multiple high school exit exam failures?\",\"answer\":\"Some students do not pass on the first attempt and may continue failing several more times, placing them in danger of not receiving a high school diploma.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the five essential components of an ELA exit exam remediation program?\",\"answer\":\"The program should use standards-based approaches, develop authentic real-world applications, increase engagement and confidence, use authentic student-centered assessments, and provide opportunities to learn.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article distinguish remediation from rote test practice?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that continual practicing of exam tasks or repeating skill-and-drill methods is not equivalent to remediation; students already practiced by taking the exam and by prior class instruction, so remediation must strengthen weak skills and concepts with new methods.\"}]","Achieving Student-Centered Success on the High School Exit Exam - Five Components of an Effective Remediation Program | PDF",1790781721,35]
