Individual Learning Plan (ILP)

The Individual Learning Plans or ILPs for Kentucky's 6th grade through 12th grade students are changing how students prepare themselves for their future. Find information here about implementing and utilizing the ILP system to best benefit students and schools.


The ILP has many features and resources that involve students on a variety of levels:

  • Exploring careers beginning in the 6th grade

  • Finding careers that match their skills and interests

  • Creating education plans

  • Establishing personal goals and revisiting these as they progress through school

  • Creating, maintaining and changing resumes

  • Tracking and reflecting on their community services experiences, work experiences, career-planning activities, and extra-curricular and organization activities

  • Exploring colleges and postsecondary opportunities that match their career, postsecondary and life goals

  • Connecting to the KHEAA.org (Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority) Web site for help with college planning, tuition assistance information and applications

  • Collecting personal information like assessment results, advising activities, demographic information and educational history


It is a state requirement that every student complete each component of the ILP annually. BCHS will utilize Xello to monitor the student's progress / work and provide feedback, as needed. It will also be reviewed by Guidance Counselors, the Curriculum Specialist, and the College and Career Transition Readiness Coach to help students make plans for their next steps beyond high school!
