ORIENTATION MATERIALS
Overview
The materials contained in
Part B of the binder are samples of a variety of materials that boards may use to publicize the PLAR process and their policies and procedures around the PLAR process for mature students.
The sample "Brochure" describes the PLAR process for mature students and its three processes. It is intended for a wide audience including employers of mature students, community agencies that assist mature students with entry into the Ontario educational system, government agencies, and educators (including teachers, principals, senior Board officials and trustees).
The sample "Course Calendar/Web Site Statement", the three "Fact Sheets" and the "Diploma Requirements for Mature Students Under the PLAR Process" are intended primarily for prospective and current mature students, although the other groups listed above may also find these resources helpful.
The sample "Orientation Session Outline" is intended for principals, teachers, and counsellors to assist them in planning an information session for mature students about the PLAR process.
