Credit for Prior Learning in Teacher Apprenticeships

In this webinar, the CEEDAR Apprenticeship Team gives an overview of CEEDAR’s new resource dedicated to credit for prior learning (CPL) within RTAPs, and panelists from three RTAPs awarding CPL discuss their successes and challenges.

The interactive online resource outlines considerations for key aspects of developing and implementing a process for granting CPL (sometimes called prior learning assessment [PLA]) in RTAPs and other Registered Apprenticeship Programs focused on education professions.

This resource:
– Summarizes methods for awarding CPL toward supplemental education and on-the-job training components of a Registered Apprenticeship Program.
-Promotes the use of CPL to increase accessibility for a broader pool of candidates and facilitate program completion.
-Highlights best practices and strategies for incorporating a quality-driven system for granting CPL in a Registered Apprenticeship Program.
