The Changing Landscape
A Personal Learning Plan is becoming a necessary part of a students educational footprint. Secondary schools in the United States have, in some states, made this a required element in a student’s curriculum. Certain key elements need to be considered when creating an PLP so here are some guidelines.
- academic scheduling
- career exploration
- career and employment-related skills
- community partnerships
- college access
- all forms of post secondary training
- experiential learning opportunities
Creating a PLP helps students to understand and identify their unique skills, interests, and personal values. Returning to the plan on a regular basis helps to keep students focused on the future and provides them with the opportunity to adjust and re-tune.
Education consultants and admissions counsellors can be very helpful in assisting families and students to create, refine and update their academic plans.
