Personal Learning Plans

Peacham Elementary School recently integrated Personal Learning Plans into our program for students in grades one through six. This process is designed to extend learning for all students and to encourage them to play an active role in their education. The Personal Learning Plans are a unique learning opportunity for our elementary students.

At the beginning of the school year, students set goals related to personal interests. Classroom teachers, the extension teacher, parents and community members together help students meet their individual goals.  Part of each plan includes determining a way for each student to share his/her project either within the classroom, or in the wider school community.

Personal Learning Plans are:

• Inclusive of all students
• Student-centered
• Part of a partnership between students, parents, school and community
• A reflection of the value of students as individuals
• A way to encourage personal excellence
• Flexible and varied, drawing on many different resources
• Varied, drawing on many different resources
• A way to help students make connections
• Assessed and evaluated by students, parents, school and community
