Experiencing Out

Students often have experiences outside of the regular school day, or year, that significantly contribute to their learning. “Experiencing Out” of a level allows students to take those out-of-school experiences and receive credit for them. These experiences could include commercial fishing, spending valuable time at Fish Camp, traveling with family, attending summer camps, or working a summer job.

This is a student-initiated process, where the formal documentation of the experience is done afterwards, except for a log of hours which is done during the experience.

In order to receive credit, the following requirements must be fulfilled by the student:

1. Hours: 75 hours of experience for .5 credit, 150 hours of experience for 1 credit; logged and signed by the student and their supervisor.
2. Documentation: copies of any required licenses, plus paystubs, receipts and/or invoices, fish, or other related materials.
3. Supervisor Evaluation of Experience form, completed and signed by the supervisor.
4. Successful completion of a portfolio.
5. Successful presentation to a community entity.
6. Proficient or Advanced score by the teacher of record.
