Advanced Learning Plan

• ALP students will receive an email to their school account
• In that email titled " Initial ALP Questionnaire", ALP students will learn how to access the ALP student portal
• The ALP student portal also includes links to videos to help students understand how to think about their goals, as well as a hyperdoc of suggested goal topics.
• Students may want to utilize these tools before completing the questionnaire.
• Once the goals have been set, you may find it helpful to encourage your child to log back into the portal every week or so and consider what progress s/eh is making toward the goal. This is not about pressure to perform, but rather about considering focus and and forward momentum.
• Students will receive and email mid-year to progress monitor their goal.
• In April or May, ALP students will receive an email for them to close out their 2022-23 ALP goal.

The Advanced Learning Plan (ALP) is a legal document outlining programming for identified gifted students and guides educational planning and decision-making. An ALP is developed for every gifted student according to the student’s determined areas of giftedness, interests, and instructional and affective needs. The ALP is created after a student is formally identified as gifted. Learn about GT identification in Jeffco to begin this referral process for a student.

The student's ALP should map out what students hope to learn and accomplish in their area of strength. When students become independent learners and self-advocates they will:

• Take control of their learning and improve their education.
• Deepen understanding of their learning style and become strength-based learners.
• Acquire learning skills that apply to learning situations in life.
• Will develop a greater sense of their abilities.

Families and students in grades 6-12 may view ALPs in Student Insights.
