Session Overview
In states across the nation, student learning plans (SLPs) are emerging as a way to build students’ college and career readiness. Learning plans are student-driven planning and monitoring tools that help students to identify interests and postsecondary goals, explore college and career options and develop the skills necessary to be autonomous, self-regulated learners. Legislation is currently pending in Massachusetts that calls for the Executive Office of Education to convene an advisory group to investigate and study a development and implementation process for six-year career planning to be coordinated by licensed school guidance counselors for all students in grades 6 to 12.
Join us for a webinar to release a new Rennie Center policy brief that provides an overview of the research on student learning plans, promising implementation strategies for schools and districts and SLP legislation in other states. The brief concludes with considerations for Massachusetts state policymakers. Representative Alice Peisch, House Chair of the Massachusetts State Legislature’s Joint Committee on Education, will provide opening remarks and a summary of the legislation she proposed related to student learning plans.
This project is made possible by the generous support by the Nellie Mae Education Foundation.
