One major trend affecting schools is the increasing growth of state-mandated or recommended adoption of Individual Learning Plans (ILPs). And while schools may support the idea in theory, many are scrambling to find ways to meet the requirements. Paper-based plans are hard to keep updated and are not easily communicated to parents, even though family engagement in students’ planning is critical. These challenges, along with lack of access to quality college and career planning tools and materials, often prevents successful implementation of ILP requirements. More at: www.naviance.com

One major trend affecting schools is the increasing growth of state-mandated or rec-
ommended adoption of Individual Learning Plans (ILPs). And while schools may sup-
port the idea in theory, many are scrambling to find ways to meet the requirements.
Paper-based plans are hard to keep updated and are not easily communicated to par-
ents, even though family engagement in students’ planning is critical. These challenges,
along with lack of access to quality college and career planning tools and materials,
often prevents successful implementation of ILP requirements.
Schools across the country, including Jefferson County Public Schools outside Denver,
Colorado, are finding that Naviance brings all the pieces of an ILP together in a com-
plete, one-stop shop solution.
USE BUILT-IN TASKS TO KEEP STUDENTS ON TRACK
Jefferson County Public Schools uses
Naviance to fulfill the Individual Career
Academic Plan (ICAP) requirement
for all 60 schools in the district. Bryan
Krause, Student Services Director, estab-
lishes milestones based on state require-
ments and assigns tasks to students in
each grade. Naviance contains built-in
tasks often found in ILPs such as search-
ing for scholarships and researching col-
leges. In addition to built-in tasks, Bryan creates tasks at the district level and schools
can create additional custom tasks to support specific needs.
Meeting ILP Requirements with Naviance
About Jefferson
County Public
Schools
Jefferson Public
Schools is the
largest public school
district in Colorado,
consisting of nearly
86,000 students.
Bryan Krause,
Student Services
Director, turned to
Naviance to manage
their Individual
Career Academic
Plan program
electronically.
Electronic capture is
essential to monitor
[ILP] implementation.
Online ILPs help
states determine
which students are
receiving specific
supports, whether
academic, counseling,
or interventions.
Moreover, online
formats also allow
for easier sharing
and communication
between students,
parents, and school
staff.”

PROMOTE EARLY ADOPTION AND PARENT ENGAGEMENT
Mr. Krause says that he likes for students to become familiar with Naviance in 7th
grade so that when they reach 11th grade, it’s second nature as they take on more
intensive college and career exploration and planning. Schools have also incorporated
the component that allows parents to review and sign off on student plans. Family and
educator collaboration is crucial to student success, even for the best laid plan.
REPORT ON ILP STATUS AND COMPLETION
Finally, Naviance makes it easy to report on results and see progress. In order to target
interventions, schools can see which
students still need to meet require-
ments. Reporting also allows schools
and districts to report on the per-
centage of students who have com-
pleted plans, which can be shared
with the school board, administra-
tors, or the state.
