Our group (Stephanie Pike, Liz Scanlon, and myself) has been working toward the goal of re-designing our school's PLP (setting up "PLP 2.0"). We have taken a look at the Brattleboro Union High School (BUHS) PLP template, which students will be expected to use when they go to the high school. We decided against using this exact template, because it is too complex (and potentially overwhelming), and includes additional information we aren't requiring students to have, as well as not allowing for as much flexibility and personalization.
We also looked at our own PLP Template and added some additional tabs (such as "My Evidence" and "My Skills" or Transferable Skills). There is a drop-down menu of the Transferable Skills. We also adjusted the goals section, making a section for a clear personal goal, and an academic goal, as well as ways to connect them to the transferable skills.
In the evidence section, we added a way for students to make posts, much like blog posts (see photo).
We have an ongoing notes page, which includes notes from our conversations with students (see Liz's post), and we have also discussed how to use the PLP in student-led conferences. We are grappling with the issue of how to incorporate more student voice and choice in the PLP process (and in the actual PLP template).
