Structure & Organization

Structure & Organization

Structure and organization are the keys to making sure you have everything in a place where it can easily be found by yourself and the advisors who will be working with you. The best way to achieve this is by creating a series of folders within your DACC Google "My Drive." Follow the instructions on this page to create your folder organization.

In addition - there is a MS Stream video link at bottom of this page, created to help give you an overview of this site and guide you through the process to create your plan (scroll to the bottom of the page). Closed caption is available for video. Once the video is launched - select the "cc" option along the bottom right corner of the video screen.

  • Create a main folder in your MyDACC Google Drive, and name it: [LastName, FirstName] - Personal Learning Plan - example: Smith, John - Personal Learning Plan.

  • Share folder with your lab teacher and Mrs. Kohl (see screenshot below)

  • Within this folder, you will create three sub-folders with the following names: Mastery, Ownership, and Relevance. (See Item 1.1)

Item 1.1

  • Inside your Mastery sub-folder, you will place documentation/evidence for the following:

    • Career Pathways Matrix

    • S.M.A.R.T. Goals

    • Achievements

    • Enrichment or Advanced Academics

    • Certifications/Industry Credentials

See the proceeding pages on this site for details of content in this folder

  • Inside of your Ownership sub-folder, you will place documentation/evidence for the following:

    • Academic Background Information

      • Grades

      • Attendance

      • Test Scores

    • MBTI Personality Inventory Results

See the proceeding pages on this site for details of content in this folder

  • Inside your Relevance sub-folder, you will place documentation/evidence for the following:

    • Career Portfolio

    • Capstone Project

    • Work-Based Learning Experiences

See the proceeding pages on this site for details of content in this folder

  • If you have already done so - next step is to share your Personal Learning Plan main folder with your lab instructor, Mrs. Kohl, and any others at DACC who will advise and support you. Click on the share icon that is located to the right of the folder's title. Sharing this main folder allows access to everything in your PLP so please DO NOT SHARE YOUR 3 SUB-FOLDERS.

  • A dialog box will open that says, "Share".

  • Make certain that Link Sharing is On.

  • In the "Share with people and groups" section, (using their last name, first initial), search for and add your Lab Instructor, Mrs. Kohl, and any other stakeholders who might be supporting your educational journey. Under the drop-down give them the option - "Editor" (See Item 1.2)

Item 1.2

  • Once the main and sub-folders have been created, it is time to copy this dashboard document to your Personal Learning Plan main folder. (It will look like the image shown to the right). Please use the link listed below to make your own copy:

  • Once this document is created make sure your name is included in the file name.

    • Move this document into your main Personal Learning Plan folder you just created.

    • This file will be used as a "dashboard" to organize the shareable links to the documents you have created/added to your PLP folders (listed above).

    • On the first page of this PLP document, insert your name, lab program, and home high school in the space provided (remove parenthesis).

  • Your requested information/evidence docs should be scanned, copied, or created then uploaded and placed in the appropriate folders in your Personal Learning Plan, as created above.

  • Once they are in the appropriate folder, you are able to create shareable links that you will place in this PLP dashboard document.
