Students will meet with Ms. Peebles to create ALP goals, which will be sent home to families. Students create an academic goal and an affective goal. Ms. Peebles will meet with students individually and in small groups throughout the year. Parents will receive a quarterly newsletter from Ms. Peebles.
Alignment to IB:
- ALP Goals will be tied to IB Learner Profiles and Approaches to Learning or AtL skills. These align nicely with the specific standards and skills the students will be choosing from for their specific ALP goals.

Information about Academic and Affective Standards:
All Academic Advanced Learning Plan goals are linked to IB MYP Assessment Criteria and Objectives. There is a link on the left under Documents for more information on this.
All Affective ALP goals are linked to the IB MYP Approaches to Learning Skills. See the link on the left side of the page. Students practice these skills in their Olweus classroom and in all classes.
Measures of Success:
- Students will complete performance rubrics based on their area of identification.
- They will self-assess as well as receive a score from the GT Coordinator and or their classroom teacher.
- Throughout the year we will use assessment scores and grades to reflect on the student’s progress.
- Students will reflect on any field trips or other experiences by addressing specific questions related to any IB components and their area or areas of identification related to the experience.
Passion Projects and Needs Based Affective Goal:
While many students will take part in the field trips and specific goals based off topics and activities done in their classrooms, students always have the option to choose an academic goal based on a passion they have. If they have an idea they would like to explore, I will work with them to figure out the steps needed to take to complete their goal.
If a student has a specific need in terms of their affective goal, such as organization, social skills, or self-management, I will work with them on creating the best affective goal for them to improve in their particular area of need.
