EL Learning Plans
An individual learning plan is NOT currently required in Nebraska for ELs; however, this tool can be useful for planning and communication.
In the Research: Thompson & Rodriquez-Molica (2023) found that individualizing plans for English Learners can shift educators' mindsets and improve student outcomes, especially for long-term English learners. Keys for success are focusing on students' assets, enhancing opportunities for parents and students to have a voice in the learning plan meetings, and fostering collaboration among those who work with ELs.
