Advance Learning Plan (ALP)

The Advanced Learning Plan (ALP) is an individualized plan for identified gifted students grades K-12. The ALP is a record of programming options and academic or talent goals that support the student’s strength area(s) and affective or behavioral development. Input from parent/guardian, student, teacher/s and gifted education specialists could guide the development, implementation, and revisions of the ALP. The ALP guides educational planning, course selection and instructional decisions that lead to post-secondary and career success.

•Rather than an additional requirement or obligation, an ALP helps students create goals to meet their specific needs, and provides students access to courses and programs which meet their specific G/T goals.

•In high school, students are contacted at the beginning of each year with information about setting ALP goals. ALP goals and activities are largely self-directed.

•This goal should be completed by October, and should guide schoolwork and future course selection.
