As institutions seek new ways to support adult learners, credit for prior learning (CPL) is gaining traction as a powerful tool to boost access, retention, and career mobility. At CAEL 2025, Everspring’s Leah Howell joins education leaders to explore how CPL can be more than a credit substitute—it can be a catalyst for learner-centered design.
Join us in Memphis to explore practical, scalable strategies for embedding prior learning into the core of your curriculum and programming.

Session Overview
CPL is often underutilized and treated as a transactional process instead of a strategic opportunity. In this session, Leah Howell shares frameworks and design strategies to help institutions reimagine prior learning as a lever for persistence, access, and workforce-aligned outcomes.
You’ll learn how to:
- Design policies and programs that go beyond transcript credits
- Apply authentic assessment and standards-based grading for real-world experience
- Integrate prior learning into course DNA without overhauling curriculum
- Build a decision-making framework that fits your institution’s context
