Students often have experiences outside the regular school day or year that contribute significantly to their learning. “Experiencing Out” of a level lets students receive credit for those out-of-school experiences. They could include commercial fishing, time at fish camp, traveling with family, attending summer camps, or working a summer job.
This is a student-initiated process. Formal documentation is done after the experience, except for a log of hours, which is kept during the experience.
Requirements
To receive credit, the student must complete:
- Hours: 75 hours of experience for 0.5 credit, or 150 hours for 1 credit, logged and signed by the student and their supervisor
- Documentation: copies of any required licenses, plus pay stubs, receipts, invoices, fish tickets, or other related materials
- Supervisor Evaluation of Experience form, completed and signed by the supervisor
- Portfolio, successfully completed
- Presentation to a community entity
- A Proficient or Advanced score from the teacher of record
