Individual Learning Plan for
Kentucky
Background: Data Integration
• State-wide unique student identifiers are used to link
information from a number of sources.
• Integration with demographic information from
Kentucky’s state student information system.
• Integration with assessment results available at the state
level.
• As additional data becomes available at the state level,
information will be brought directly into the ILP.
• New students’ ILPs are created automatically.
• As students change schools, their ILPs are automatically
transferred with them and made available in their new
school’s reporting.
ILP Homepage
The ILP Homepage is the
central point from which
students can access all of the
features and functions available
in the ILP.
Schools can send messages to
students. Schools can also add
links to related online career,
education, and community
resources.
The My Documents section of the
ILP allows students to store files
such as essays and presentations,
letters of reference, and scanned
artwork.
Career Matchmaker Results
The ILP is fully integrated with
the Career Cruising career
guidance system.
Students can save their results
from the Career Matchmaker
interest inventory.
Students are asked about their
likes and dislikes in a variety of
areas, such as working with
children, being interested in law,
working outdoors.
Students receive a list of 40
career suggestions ranked in
order of suitability.
Careers & Schools that Interest Me
Students can bookmark individual
careers and colleges that they are
interested in and record their
thoughts about each.
Career and college names link
directly to detailed profiles so
students can access information
quickly and easily.
Career Cluster Interests
Kentucky’s 14 Career Clusters
have been integrated in a
variety of ways. Here students
can indicate which clusters are
of particular interest to them
and why.
Clicking on the name of a
cluster takes students to a
page with a brief description of
that cluster as well as links to
related career profiles.
Career Planning Activities
Students can document the
career planning and
development activities in
which they have participated,
including job shadowing,
attending career or college
fairs, internships and co-op
placements.
The list of available activities
has been customized for
Kentucky. It is also tailored for
middle school and high school
students.
Extracurricular Activities
In the Organizations & Activities
section, students can detail the
structured extracurricular activities in
which they participate.
The Hobbies & Interests section allows
students to record the informal or
independent activities that they enjoy.
Community Service Learning
Students can document their
community service learning
experiences, including the
number of hours they have
completed and the name of
their reference or supervisor.
Related files, such as a letter of
reference or timesheet, can be
uploaded and linked to
particular records.
Students can also enter their
work experience in the same
fashion.
Education Plan
The Education Plan allows
students to record the high
school courses they have
taken, are taking now, or
plan to take in the future.
School courses are linked to Kentucky’s
universal course codes to allow
reporting at the school, district, and
state level.
Schools can use this section
to help students create a
course schedule that meets
their career and educational
goals. Data from the
Education Plan can also be
used to forecast course
demand.
Learning Services
The Learning Services
section of the ILP allows
students to record details
about learning options or
programs that they participate
in, both inside and outside of
school. This could include
Gifted and Talented
programs, limited English
proficiency options, private
tutoring, and other services.
Resume Builder
The ILP also includes a Resume
Builder, which takes information
students have already entered
and helps them create a
customized resume.
Students can select a variety of
styles and can select the order
in which the sections appear,
allowing them to create
chronological, functional or
combined format resumes.
The resume can be printed from
a web browser or exported as a
Word, text, or html file.
ILP Completion Standards
ILP Completion Standards
clearly define the objectives
and expectations for students.
With the ILP Completion
Status Bar, students can view
requirements and track their
progress towards meeting
those specific objectives.
ILP Completion Standards are set on
a grade by grade basis. The ILP is a
progressive experience for students
as they build their plan over time.
Completion Standards help
ensure that students keep their
ILPs up to date. Each year
students must review and
revise the required sections of
their ILP and reflect on the
changes they have made to
achieve completion.
School ILP Administration Tool
The School ILP Administration Tool helps teachers, counselors, and
administrators implement and manage the ILP at their school:
• Retrieve student ILP usernames and passwords.
• View individual students’ ILPs.
• Create and manage advisor accounts to ensure that staff have access to the
features and information that they need.
• Monitor ILP Completion Status both
individually and at the aggregate level.
• Generate a wide variety of
customizable reports for every data
element included in the ILP.
• Customize Career Cruising and the
ILP Tool.
• Send messages to students and add
links to the ILP Homepage.
School ILP Administration Tool
Integration with Kentucky’s
student information system
takes the burden of student
information management off
of individual schools.
Students are added,
transferred, and promoted
automatically.
The Student List
The Student List provides
access to a number of options:
• Retrieve student usernames
and passwords
• View student ILPs or resumes
• View or add to students’
Advisement Log
• Record students’ Annual ILP
Review
• View detailed completion
status reports
Export the Student List to distribute
usernames and passwords, to create
checklists, or other purposes for which
you might need the list of student ILPs.
• Create and view Parent
accounts, comments, and
review status
• Send messages to individual
students
Advisor Profiles
Individual advisor profiles allow users
access to the tools and data they need.
Four security levels ensure that
students’ personal information is
protected.
Students can be assigned to advisors
and teachers to provide quick and easy
access to their students’ data.
Graduation Requirements
The Education Plan enables
students to view Graduation
Requirements as they plan
their course selections.
The Graduation Requirements
feature allows schools to
customize the requirements
beyond the state mandated
minimums.
Multiple diploma options can
be implemented for students to
view all available graduation
plans.
ILP Completion Reports
Track overall student achievement
through a variety of ILP Completion
Standards Reports.
Quickly and easily monitor students’
progress at a glance and view detailed
breakdowns.
Identify students who are not meeting
expectations to determine what help is
needed.
ILP Reports
The system includes a robust real-time
reporting package to analyze all data
elements collected in the ILP.
Reports can be customized to report
on particular groups of students.
The archiving function allows school
administrators to track trends over
time.
Resources & Support Materials
A variety of support documents
help schools implement the ILP
in the way that works best for
them:
• User’s Guides for Career
Cruising, the ILP, and the
School ILP Administration Tool.
• Classroom Activities and
Independent Research Projects.
• Implementation Suggestions
• Documents to help introduce
