Individualized Learning Plans
Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) are a mapped academic plan and profile that
reflect each student's unique set of interests, needs, learning goals, and graduation
requirements. The ILP is primarily authored by students themselves with guidance
from their teachers, counselor, parents and when applicable, community members.
Opportunities exist to revisit ILPs frequently as students choose their high school
courses, document outside activities, prepare to meet graduation requirements and
generally plan for the future. This process allows students to become active, responsible
participants in their educational development and planning.
As a working document,
the ILP is at the center of a flexible educational program that meets individual
development toward America School Counselor Association's (ASCA) National Model
for School Counseling Programs, the RI Framework for Comprehensive K-12 School Counseling,
and the RI Diploma System's Proficiency-Based Graduation Requirements.
Students,
in consultation with responsible adults, will establish academic, career, and personal/social
goals. In addition, students will develop plans and actions to achieve these goals.
This process will ensure that all students are well supported to reach the goal
of life readiness.
