Individual Learning Plan

What is an ILP (Individual Learning Plan)?

An ILP (Individual Learning Plan) is a written plan that helps teachers support students who are learning English. It includes helpful strategies, classroom supports (called accommodations), and any needed changes (modifications) so that the student can learn successfully every day. All students who are learning English—also called English Learners (ELs)—will have an ILP.

 


ILP Details – How It Works

  • Created by Teachers: Your child’s ILP is created by their classroom teachers, working closely with the school’s ENL (English as a New Language) teacher or another staff member.
  • Shared with Students: Students are encouraged to know their goals and supports so they can be part of their learning journey.
  • Used by All Teachers: All teachers and school staff who work with your child receive a copy of the ILP and use it every day to support your child’s learning and language growth.

What’s in an ILP?

The ILP includes important information to help your child succeed:

  • Basic student information
  • Your child’s level of English and academic needs
  • The language program being used at school
  • Specific learning goals for your child
  • Test results and other information used to set those goals
  • State and local assessment details
  • A list of helpful teaching strategies, accommodations, and modifications that will be used in the classroom
