What is Prior Learning Assessment

This chapter chronicles the story of the author's degree completion path as a nontraditional student and how that evolved into the author becoming an instructor for this same subsegment of the post-secondary student population. The return to teach happened following completion of a Master's degree. Returning to teach nontraditional students effectively and successfully has proven to be an undertaking the author finds rewarding as it provides ample opportunity for the needs of current and future nontraditional students to benefit from the combination of education and lived experiences of a nontraditional student returning to teach nontraditional students.
