My Life Plan

The goal of My Life Plan is to provide a comprehensive, equity-based, and proactive curriculum leading to all students being prepared for their postsecondary goals.My Life Plan is the district-wide Counseling curriculum for students in grades pre-K-12 and the completion of grade level activities are required for graduation.

The State of Minnesota, in Minnesota Statutes, section 120B.125, requires all students to have a Personal Learning Plan (PLP) that includes academic scheduling, career exploration, career- and employment-related skills, community partnerships, college access, all forms of postsecondary education and training, and experiential learning opportunities. A PLP is a personalized plan for students to use with parents, school staff, and administrators. It can be used to plan, assess, and record student progress toward career and college readiness.

Through My Life Plan lessons and activities, students are developing a continuous Personal Learning Plan from pre-K-12th grade by building a foundation, then exploration and eventually preparation for college and career and are creating an individual post-secondary portfolio.

My Life Plan Lessons

  • Lessons are delivered by licensed school counselors, along with Achieve College and Career Center coordinators at the high school level.
  • Students receive 5-12 lessons at each grade level. 
  • Students complete multiple personal/social, academic and college and career readiness activities at each grade level, including surveys, inventories, discussions and hands-on activities. 
  • Lessons are connected to one another in a meaningful way and offer time for reflection and interaction so that students gain real awareness of all the possible postsecondary options available to them and how to reach their goals.
  • Each lesson includes reflection activities and activities on Xello that build the student portfolio.
