Individual Learning Plan Training
The Individual Learning Plan (ILP) is a new online education
planning tool designed to help secondary students (grades 6-12)
better focus their coursework on individual goals as they prepare
for postsecondary studies and careers. Through the ILP, students
are able to find careers that match their skills and interest,
establish and monitor their personal goals, maintain and create
resumes, track community service, research colleges and universities,
access thousands of scholarship opportunities available, and
much more. When given the opportunity to review their
ILP with a mentor, students are able to create an informed
plan for successfully transitioning to the next level of learning.
Are you interested in learning how to help support the ILP
in schools? Come learn how to use the ILP and how you
can help students develop and use their Individual Learning
Plan!
