Advanced Learning Plan

Advanced Learning Plans in Jeffco

The Advanced Learning Plan (ALP) is a legal document outlining programming for identified gifted students and guides educational planning and decision-making. An ALP is developed for every gifted student according to the student’s determined areas of giftedness, interests, and instructional and affective needs. The ALP is created after a student is formally identified as gifted. Learn about GT identification in Jeffco to begin this referral process for a student.

The student's ALP should map out what students hope to learn and accomplish in their area of strength. When students become independent learners and self-advocates they will:

  • Take control of their learning and improve their education.
  • Deepen understanding of their learning style and become strength-based learners.
  • Acquire learning skills that apply to learning situations in life.
  • Will develop a greater sense of their abilities.

Families and students in grades 6-12 may view ALPs in Student Insights. 

All formally identified gifted students have an ALP at Governor's Ranch Elementary:

  • The ALP is primarily managed by the classroom teacher with collaboration and input from parents and students.
  • The ALP is a living document that guides the student's academic and social emotional progress through a goal setting process that follows the Jeffco ALP Lifecycle.
  • Each identified gifted student will have two goals each school year, one academic goal tied to their identified strength, and one affective (social/emotional) goal.
  • The student's ALP is progress monitored three times a year.
  • Towards the end of the school year, ALP's are evaluated as to whether the student has met their goals or not.
