My Life Plan is the district-wide Counseling curriculum for students in grades pre-K-12 and the completion of grade level activities are required for graduation.
The State of Minnesota, in Minnesota Statutes, section 120B.125, requires all students to have a Personal Learning Plan (PLP) that includes academic scheduling, career exploration, career- and employment-related skills, community partnerships, college access, all forms of postsecondary education and training, and experiential learning opportunities. A PLP is a personalized plan for students to use with parents, school staff, and administrators. It can be used to plan, assess, and record student progress toward career and college readiness.
Through My Life Plan lessons and activities, students are developing a continuous Personal Learning Plan from pre-K-12th grade by building a foundation, then exploration and eventually preparation for college and career and are creating an individual post-secondary portfolio.
The goal of My Life Plan is to provide a comprehensive, equity-based, and proactive curriculum leading to all students being prepared for their postsecondary goals.
Xello is an engaging online program that helps students build the skills, knowledge and plans to be future ready. Students in Kindergarten through 12th grade will use Xello to complete their My Life Plan.
