One common way in which educators do use rigor to mean unyielding or rigid is when they are referring to ârigorousâ learning standards and high expectations âi.e., when they are calling for all students to be held to the same challenging academic standards and expectations.
What is PLA? Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is the process of evaluating and awarding credit for college-level learning acquired outside of the traditional classroom. This type of learning is also known as informal and non-formal learning. Prior learning is sometimes referred to as experiential learning. In many other countries the term recognition is included (e.g., prior learning assessment and recognition).
PLI is now a diagnosis in DSM-5, and is called social (pragmatic) communication disorder. Communication problems are also part of the autism spectrum disorders (ASD); however, the latter also shows a restricted pattern of behavior, according to behavioral psychology.
