Individual Learning Plan

What is the Individual Learning Plan (ILP)?

Students across Kentucky are required to complete or revise their ILP each year of high school. Seneca has adopted a School-Based Decision Making (SBDM) policy stating that ILP completion is a requirement of promotion to the next grade as well as graduation.

Recovery: Reading, Math, and On-Demand Writing

Students who fail to score Apprentice or higher on the required state assessments must complete a set of district-designed competency modules, through which each school will re-teach the content in smaller segments until the student reaches competency. These recovery sessions are scheduled by the school and meet on Saturdays or after school.

Class Scheduling

State-Mandated Testing

For the 2011-12 school year, students will take end-of-course exams as part of the state-mandated assessment. The courses scheduled for exams are: English 2, Algebra 2, Biology, and U.S. History. Three of the four courses are typically junior classes, so students should prepare for a different type of testing.

The Junior ACT date for Kentucky is March 6, 2012. Students should start preparing now!
