Personal Learning Plans

The eighth grade students just completed their Personal Learning Plans as part of Life Skills class with Mrs. Ras. A personal learning plan serves as a roadmap to a student’s high school coursework. The plan is developed based on the student’s skills and interests. It identifies the specific courses a student needs in order to reach his or her academic and career goals. The PLP can be changed as students career interests change.
In developing a Personal Learning Plan, the students completed career interest inventories and utilized the Nebraska Career Connections Website. It is the goal of Bancroft-Rosalie School for all high school students to have a PLP.
Eighth grade parents- ask your students to show you their plan. We want parents involved in helping their students make academic and career decisions.
