CREDIT FLEXIBILITY

The credit flexibility initiative is part of a statewide effort to increase learning and engagement and help students graduate ready for success in college and careers.

In addition to earning credit by successfully completing traditional courses, the credit flexibility program provides new options for students including:

•         Earning credit by demonstrating mastery of the essential content of a traditional course by “testing out,” presenting a portfolio documenting mastery, or a combination of these.

•         Successfully completing a mentorship, internship, educational travel, or service learning program aligned to the academic curriculum.

•         Successfully completing an online course or academic summer or after-school program aligned to the school curriculum.

•         Successfully completing a “hybrid” learning experience that may combine any of the options above as well as units of traditional courses.

Credit flexibility is another example of how our district is working to prepare students for the 21st Century by striving to address their unique needs and talents.

Submission Dates:

Proposals need to be submitted no later than October 15^th or April 15^th of the school term previous to the term in which students will be pursuing their credit flexibility option.
