Personalised Learning Pathways are developed in a consultation process between the student, parents/carers and teachers, to identify, organise and apply personal approaches to learning and engagement. Personalised Learning Pathways can have short term or long-term goals.
All Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students have a PLP that is tailored to the student and is regularly reviewed and updated.
An effective PLP should:
engage students in discussing their aspirational goals
contain specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound (SMART) goals that support students to realise their goals and life-long aspirations
record student’s academic goals and aspirations in a context that takes into account the student’s spiritual, emotional, social and physical health and wellbeing
be developed in partnership with parents/carers, with support from Aboriginal staff and other specialist school staff and agencies if relevant
articulate learning pathways required to pursue the student’s identified goals
be easily accessible in hard copy or online to students, families and staff
be owned by the student, and engages the student voice in the development, monitoring and review processes.
Include a literacy and numeracy component for all students who are at risk of falling behind.
