Teachers, Administrators, Technology Coordinators/Directors and
Students can design their own Individual Learning Plans (ILPs)
and actively participate in the development and management of
their own professional learning. Based on current proficiency
levels, educators and students can choose the target proficiency
level in different categories they wish to attain. Participants
can also view resources available to them in their school or
district, to help reach their desired target levels.
Additionally, ILPs can be then be sent via email to technology
coordinators, mentors, or school leaders for on-going coaching
and accountability.
