You can write several pages or a short synopsis, but the clearer and more specific, the better.\nGoals, Motivation, and Time Frame\nWhat are your goals? What are the reasons (professional and personal) you are pursuing your goals?  What is a realistic time frame for completing your education? What are your thoughts and feelings about not having finished your education? Where do you see your career headed in the next 5 to 10 years?\nAction Plan\nWhat is your plan to receive the maximum benefit from your education? What changes in your lifestyle are you able to make in order to find time for classwork? What are several action steps you can take now that will help you manage your time effectively? Who will support you in pursuing your goals? Financially? Emotionally? Academically? Are there any skills you need to be better prepared for the challenges ahead, and if so, how will you brush up on those skills?\nConnection of Prior Learning to Goals\nThis is the most important section of this part. How will the prior learning credit you are requesting will fit into their future educational and career goals?\nExtended Resume\nPlease upload or create an extended resume in LinkedIn (using LinkedIn is preferred) with all relevant experience in detail. Lists all jobs held, including volunteer. Note duties, skills and expertise used in performing job tasks. When possible relate to educational outcomes and language similar to that used in the outcomes for the courses you want reviewed and use verbs from Bloom's taxonomy that reflect your level of learning.\nSee example at www.linkedin.com/in/andrewsears. You can download your LinkedIn profile as a resume by selecting View Profile As, then Save to PDF. After you download, upload here.\nLearning and Experience Autobiography\nThe autobiography is a complete picture of the learner – who you are, what you have done, what you know, and what you want to accomplish. To demonstrate why you have selected the course in this portfolio, prepare an autobiographical essay based on your life experiences using your resume as a guide. Relate the relevant experiences to the course in a general explanation. (Specifics will be detailed in the Significant Learning Worksheet). The autobiography introduces you to the evaluator and helps him/her understand the context of your learning for the particular course you are requesting. This should include your educational and career goals. More importantly, it is intended to help you reflect on how experiences from different times in your life may have come together for a common goal.\nTo summarize, the essay should be two-four pages and summarize the significant learning experiences in your life; define your personal, educational, and career goals; an","cbCairXWA91On8dW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairXWA91On8dW","docx",174446,10,"English","# Educational Goals\n## Goals, Motivation, and Time Frame\n## Action Plan\n## Connection of Prior Learning to Goals\n## Extended Resume\n## Learning and Experience Autobiography\n## Learning Narrative for (Course Name)\n## Courses from Regionally Accredited Universities\n### Link to Syllabus\n### Course Outcomes/Objectives\n### Learning Narrative (3 to 8 pages per course)\n### Bibliography\n### Documentation","[{\"question\":\"What should be included in the educational goals section?\",\"answer\":\"Describe your goals, the reasons for pursuing them (professional and personal), a realistic time frame, your feelings about not finishing education, and where you see your career in 5 to 10 years.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you connect prior learning to the goals of future education and a career?\",\"answer\":\"Show how the prior learning credit you request fits into your future educational plans and career goals, ensuring the narrative aligns with requested course outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"What elements are required for each course in the portfolio?\",\"answer\":\"For each course, complete the learning narrative sections including a link to the syllabus, course outcomes/objectives, a learning narrative (3 to 8 pages), plus bibliography and documentation as specified.\"}]","Educational Goals - Prior Learning Assessment Portfolio Template | DOCX"]
