  8. Kentucky Experience

  9. Origins of the ILP • In the 1990’s Kentucky initiated development of IGP • A paper-based career portfolio • Designed to help students with career and education planning • Development of student IGP’s to be guided by counselors and advisors • IGP viewed as a means to encourage involvement by parents

  10. Limitations and Problems with the IGP • IGP folders ordered from KDE totaled only 14% • Only 20% of parents polled aware of the IGP • Percentage of school’s complying difficult to establish • Completing plans time consuming for students • Sharing plans difficult (often locked in counselor’s filing cabinet) • Involvement of parents difficult to achieve • Much of the data required redundant to data captured in the statewide student information system (SIS)

  11. Forward with the ILP • Decision reached to issue an RFP for the development of an online version of the IGP – renamed the ILP • Key objectives of the new ILP: • To raise the level of student achievement in middle & secondary school • To increase the percentage of students who enter high school and persist to a diploma • To enable schools to plan for coursework, applied learning experiences, and other activities that respond to the needs of individual learners • To facilitate the advising team approach for students • To increase the percentage of high school graduates who successfully transition to a postsecondary education or training program that is selected based on their unique academic and career interests

  12. Key Components of the ILP • Student ILP • Parent ILP • School-Level ILP component for Administrators • District-Level ILP component for Administrators • State-Level ILP component for Administrators

  13. New Features Developed for the ILP • Single Sign-On • Advisement Log • Annual Review • Annual Survey • Post-Secondary Goals • Parent Version • Statewide Reporting System • Increased storage space • Graduation requirements

  14. Technical Challenges • Annual Archiving of ILPs • Customizable Reporting • Support for American with Disabilities Act • Integration with statewide SIS • Silent login to GoHigherKY.org • Integration of statewide testing results • Integration of transcripts (on hold)

  15. Issues Resolved during Development • How to integrate statewide Common Course Codes? • What security model to employ for School ILP? • What completion standards to employ? • Should students be able to change passwords? • At what age should students be able to invite others to view their ILP? • How should we integrate transcripts?

  16. Issues Resolved during Development • How should the menu buttons be organized? • How should Gear Up schools/students be identified in the system? • How should alternative diploma options be highlighted for students? • How can we integrate Expanded Learning Options, ESS (Extended School Services), LEP (Limited English Proficiency) and G&T (Gifted and Talented) • How to incorporate Performance Based Credits
