Graduation Requirements<br />
Personalized Learning Plan (PLP)<br />
A personalized learning plan (or PLP) is developed by students - typically in collaboration with counselors, teachers, and parents - as a<br />
way to help them achieve short- and long-term learning goals. A personalized learning plan brings greater coherence, focus, and purpose<br />
to the decisions students make about their education. The worksheet below can be used to help guide your thinking as you develop<br />
your PLP online. To learn more about the process, please visit jameslogan.org/plp.<br />
