PLAR Challenge Information Session

Wednesday, January 17, 2024 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is how students may obtain credits for prior learning. Prior learning includes the knowledge and skills that students have acquired, in both formal and informal ways, outside secondary school. This information session will outline how students’ prior learning is assessed for the purpose of granting credit for a Grade 10, 11, or 12 Ontario curriculum course.

Subject-specific Program Coordinators will be hosting break-out sessions to help students understand how to apply for a PLAR in a particular subject area. The following subject-specific breakout webinars will be available to join after the general information session:

• PLAR Challenges in Social Science & Humanities, Canadian & World Studies • PLAR Challenges in STEM (Science, Technology and Robotics) • PLAR Challenges in the Arts • PLAR Challenges in Experiential Learning • PLAR Challenges in Languages • PLAR Challenges in Math • PLAR Challenges in Physical Education
