Second Chance Algebra (2013-2014)
The Second Chances in Algebra Project uses methods of alternative learning to help Desert Hot Springs Students succeed at math. Each student receives a Chromebook, allowing them to complete special online projects and assignments. As a result, students learn to explore math in new ways while increasing their technological literacy. Parents also play a vital part in this system, meeting with counselors throughout the semester and helping their students stay on track with coursework. By increasing communication between parents, teachers, and counselors, this program provides many levels of support for participating students, allowing them to reach their full potential.
