Though the syllabus for OEE gives a general outline of the program, no two OEE student have identical grade break downs for three main reasons: 

  1. Each assigned assignment is open ended 
  1. Students developadditional assignments to help them develop skills they want to adopt into their classroom or other educational practices 
  1. Students determine the weight of each component, then reflect and adjust the weights based on their experiences and interests 
    • At the beginning of the year a student might think the journalling assignment is redundant or boring and give it 10% weight. After trying new journalling techniques and doing well, they may increase the weight to 15%.  
    • A student may create a “knot tying” assignment and reflection for themselves thinking that it would be interesting because they want to do mountaineering, so they weight 20%. After experiencing sewing in a GOC, they may realize they love sewing and want to really develop that skill, so they reduce knot tying to 5% and and learn to sew an entire outfit for 15%.
