"Kentucky’s Statewide Blueprint for Adult Student Success by Scaling Credit for Prior Learning"

Description: 

In response to the growing need to accelerate adult degree completion, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) launched a statewide Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) initiative to help institutions scale policies and practices that recognize learning outside the classroom. This webinar explores how Kentucky built a cross-institutional framework rooted in the ADDIE model—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—to align campus teams, foster collaboration, and implement sustainable CPL strategies. Attendees will gain insight into the process of establishing campus champions, completing institutional readiness assessments, coordinating statewide trainings, and building tools to measure return on investment. Through this shared journey, Kentucky institutions have increased capacity to serve adult learners, veterans, and comebackers by awarding credit for prior learning with consistency and integrity. Attendees will leave with a replicable framework, actionable tools, and lessons learned that can support CPL expansion in other states, systems, or multi-campus collaborations.
