A personalized learning plan is a tailored educational roadmap designed to cater to the individual needs, interests, skills, and goals of each student. It focuses on ensuring that students acquire the necessary skills, knowledge, and dispositions for success in their personal and professional lives. This dynamic and evolving process involves collaboration between students, parents, and educators, documenting progress and adjustments as the student grows and learns. Personalized learning plans emphasize a student-centered approach, allowing for a more engaging and effective educational experience.
