Advanced Learning Plan
All students in the GT Center Program will work with their parents and teachers to create an ALP (Advanced Learning Plan) based on their strengths, goals and interests. ALPs are used as a blueprint to help students advance academically and develop their specific strengths. The goals that students create for their ALPs are frequently reviewed throughout the year to monitor their progress.
ALPs help students become independent learners and advocates for themselves. When students become autonomous learners with support from their parents and teachers, they will:
- Take control of their learning
- Become strength-based learners
- Develop a deeper understanding of their learning style
- Strive to improve their education
- Acquire skills that will benefit them in future learning situations
- Develop a sense of their abilities and become self-motivated to improve
Advanced Learning Plans in Jeffco
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.
