PLPs guide our students through a series of activities and lessons that help them learn more about themselves, identify their strengths and weaknesses, consider and document their plans upon graduation, and research opportunities to grow as a professional and as an individual.

Throughout this process, our students work with their teachers and non-instructional staff to set goals, obtain resources, track and evaluate their progress, and understand the importance of evidence and documentation of their learning.
