Personal learning plans

To help ensure Minnesota students have a successful transition to education and employment after high school, Minnesota legislation requires all students, starting in ninth grade, to have a plan around seven elements. This plan should include:

  • Academic scheduling
  • Career exploration
  • 21st-century skills
  • Community partnerships
  • College access
  • All forms of post-secondary training
  • Experiential learning opportunities
