Personal Learning Plans are documents describing the educational modifications put in place for an individual student to accommodate that student's individual needs, as determined by an evaluation. PLPs are made up of a collection of editors. Plan Types are established by selecting which editors should be included in a specific plan based on district preferences and state requirements.
PLP Plan Types
Plan types can be edited by clicking on an existing Plan Type on the list, making the desired modifications and clicking Save.
