Personalized Learning

• All students have opportunities to reach their full potential through inspired teaching, personalized learning, goal setting, reflection, and relevant career and community-based activities.

• All educators are actively engaged in making relevant connections, infusing employability skills into their curriculum and instructional approaches, and supporting students throughout their academic and career planning process.

• All learning coaches are knowledgeable of and involved with their student’s goals and plans and are engaged in supporting their student through the PLP process.

• All schools embed the Vision of a Graduate across their personalized learning communities, curriculums, and school culture.

• All stakeholders are aware of the PLP process through collaborative communication.

Our Personalized Learning Planning encourages all students to be strong critical thinkers, solve real-world problems, persevere, be competent socially and emotionally, and make more informed choices. The PLP starts in Kindergarten and is linked to many areas including those listed below.

These requirements are for students graduating through Class of 2027. Class of 2028 and beyond will require an additional .5 credit of Personal Finance.

All guardians/Learning Coaches have access to Xello. When you receive an activation link via email from Xello, please follow the instructions to activate your family account. You can view your student's work and support their personalized learning plan.

How does Personalized Learning Planning help a student?

This process is all about exploring – there are no “mistakes” in this process. Students can, and are encouraged to, modify their plans at any time. This process:

• Helps students find the relevance in what they are learning and increases academic motivation

• Ensures ALL students have a plan for success after high school including the options to Enroll, Enlist, Employ

• Helps inform a student’s investment in post-high school education

What is included in a Personalized Learning Plan?

The PLP guides students as they reflect, learn, and grow from their education including Learning Readiness, Career Readiness, and Life Readiness that happens in classrooms, homerooms, and outside the classroom. Our PLP scope includes a student’s unique:

• Skills, interests, achievements, experiences, activities, service learning, and resume

• Personality traits, learning styles, work values, and work skills

• Career Clusters and Career Pathways of interests

• Assessment results (STAR, Aspire, Forward, PSAT, ACT, AP)

• Reflection and setting Academic and Personal Goals

When does a student begin developing their PLP?

Students begin the PLP process in K-3rd grades and will create their plan in 4th-12th grades. The plan is worked on primarily during Homeroom at the high school with:

• Activities for students at each grade level (highlighted on the other side of this sheet)

• Lessons created by School Counselors and the Personalized Learning Coordinator

• Xello is used to help students capture their plan - each student has a unique login and password

What is the Learning Coaches Role in this process?

All WIVA HS students have a Learning Coach (LC) to support them in their academic and future planning. The PLP process is a part of that support.

• LCs are encouraged to sit down with their student to discuss the process, review their plan, and help them select learning opportunities that align with their goals – each LC has a unique login and password for Xello to view their student’s information and planning

• LCs will ensure that students understand the importance of attending the bi-weekly Homerooms

• Families may connect with a School Counselor to request course progression for a specific career

Wisconsin Virtual Academy is committed to supporting every student to have a voice and choice in their education that supports their identity and ensures a post-graduation plan. To ensure that every student graduate college and career ready, all students will create a Personalized Learning Plan.
