What is an Individual Learning Plan?
The Individual Learning Plan (ILP) resource on Essential Assessment is a personalised set of printable worksheets that you can download for individual students. They are generated based on the student's most recent assessment data, and will include questions to consolidate their current knowledge, as well as questions targeting their next level of achievement. ILPs directly target the student's areas of need, as well as their next steps - supporting highly targeted differentiation.
Downloading ILP
Each ILP provides structured curriculum content to consolidate knowledge at an existing level and extend a student's understanding to the next required level.
For example, if a student has a current understanding of Level 3, they should be assigned an ILP at Level 4. The Level 4 resource provides structured curriculum content to consolidate their current knowledge and provides them with additional curriculum content for the next level of achievement.
To download an ILP for a student, click on a class the student is in and click on the student profile.

Learning Goals
Each ILP has learning goals outlined for a student to further assist with their learning. Each learning goal has an I Can statement attached for each proficiency.
For Numeracy, this is Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning.
For Literacy, within Reading, the proficiencies are Comprehension, Text Structure, Language Features, and Language Conventions. For writing, the proficiencies are Pre-writing, Structuring Texts, Using Language, and Editing and Revising.
As students work through their ILP's and demonstrate understanding in the areas assigned to them, they can colour in the stars to indicate they have mastered a skill.
ILP's are unable to be downloaded in bulk, they will need to be downloaded on an individual student basis.
