Students were sent directions this week explaining the PLP process for this year. 

Here you will find the "21-22 Evidence of Learning Template."  
This PLP Template has been redesigned with simplicity in mind. 
This year students will make three goals: 
1 Academic Goal
1 Transferable Skill Goal
1 Personal Goal  
Students will provide one piece of evidence per goal, per semester. 

Advisors will explain the new template, answer any questions, and help students get started. Students who don't have an advisor should contact Mr. Mahabir for support. 

About Me, Goals, and Semester 1 Evidence are due by January 14th. Completing a PLP each year is a graduation requirement that is recorded on the transcript. 

We hope you like the improvements for this year. If any student is interested in joining the PLP Committee as we reenvision the PLP for the future, please contact Mr. Mahabir, our PLP Coordinator.
