Ed-Co's Mission

The mission of the Edgewood-Colesburg Community School District is to assist and ensure that each student achieves his or her level of educational excellence.


ABCI: Failure is not an option!

In many classes, each student must reach an acceptable level of achievement on every assigned task (usually a 70% achievement level) or the student simply is not done and works with the instructor to understand the concepts before moving on.
 
Projects and assessments must be performed at an acceptable level before that student can move on to the next topic, otherwise that grade is considered incomplete. In situations where the expectation is not met, more time and reteaching in a different manner takes place. Ed-Co staff work to move the students along while using the students' learning styles, ability levels and interests.

Using the ABC-Incomplete (ABCI) approach has worked extremely well in holding kids accountable for their own learning. It allows students to have extra time if needed, and additional reteaching of the material ensures that students have the knowledge necessary to do well at the next level.
 
If you have any questions about the ABCI-phylosophy, feel free to give the school a call.
