# Requesting Outside Professional Learning Credits

Many district staff participate in professional learning opportunities outside of what may be offered by the district. Outside learning opportunities can be tracked as professional learning credits in **Strive Portfolios**.

## **Quick Guide**

1. Select **My Portfolio**from the navigation panel.
2. Select the **Portfolio** tab.
3. Select **My Portfolio**to view your professional learning portfolio.
4. Select **Add New Portfolio Entry** to begin the wizard.
5. Select the option for the type of portfolio entry you want, then select **Next**.
6. Enter the workshop details, including **Title**, **Description**, **Start Date**, and **End Date**with **Times**, then select **Next**.
7. Enter the number of **Credit Hours** under the **Credit Types**. You can enter hours in more than one credit type, then select **Next**.
8. Open the containers for the frameworks to select specific **Dimensions**. Use the checkboxes to select as many dimensions as needed, then select **Next**.
9. If you have any files to upload to verify your attendance, such as a certificate or reflection document, select **Choose File**. Select the file name for the document you want to upload. You can upload up to three files. Once you have uploaded your documents, select **Next**.
10. Select **Finish**to close the wizard.

After you finish the wizard, you can return to the request under **My Portfolio** to add notes, attach additional documents, select credit type, and attach goals (if enabled in your district) before submitting the credit for review.
