✏️ ALE Adding Courses to wSLPs (Connect)

Once a Written Student Learning Plan (wSLP)  has been “Initiated”, the plan is now ready for courses to be added and  is accessible through two pathways:

• Certificated Teacher or Registrar Role >> All Student Learning Plans 
• Certificated Teacher Role >> My Student Learning Plans.  

There are two ways to add courses to wSLPs. 

Adding Courses to wSLPs via the Add Course button in the wSLP. 

1. Navigate to either All Student Learning Plans or My Student Learning Plans and click on a student’s name. 
2. The wSLP will open to the Subjects/Courses Tab under SLP Courses. 
3. Select the Add Course button in the top right to add a course to the plan.

4. In the Subject Course Section: 

   Click the magnifying glass in the Course Template field and click the checkbox to the left.  If you have pre-defined course templates in your course catalog, you can select a course, which will automatically backfill the corresponding subject area and state course code if defined in the course.  For programs that build each course individually for each student, you may also build a course from start to finish here, making individual selections for Subject Area and State Course Code for this one student’s plan without an associated “course” from your catalog.  The Course Title, Subject Area, State Course Code, and Description fields will populate from your course template. If building an individual course for a student, you may edit this field. If a State Subject Area has been selected, the resulting State Course Codes will be filtered to that Subject Area. The Description field may be blank if your course description is included in the course syllabus.

5. In the Instruction section:

   The Grade Level field defaults to the student’s enrolled grade level, but can be manually changed to accommodate students enrolled in a specific course at a particular grade level. The ALE Course Type will either prepopulate or may be selected, depending on your school settings. Click the magnifying glass in the field, then click the checkbox to the left. This may be set to default via the Data Administrator >> Configure Settings >> Default Settings/Values >> Subject/Course Default Settings.  If a Certificated Teacher was designated on the Course record and a Course was added to this plan, the teacher will be displayed. If no course was chosen or a Certificated Teacher was not associated with that course, this defaults to the Certificated Teacher assigned to the plan. In either case, it can be edited as needed.

6. In the Dates/Times section:

   The Start and End Dates are set to this SLP’s start and end dates, but can be updated as needed. If the Average Hours Per Week is set for the course, it will autofill based on the estimated hours per week the student will devote to it. This can be individualized for this student at this time if needed. If no hours were defined on the course, they can be set now. This field can be left blank for programs that choose not to identify hours spent per course.  Click the magnifying glass in the Participation Status field and click the checkbox to the left. ( In Progress, Planned, Withdrawn, Dropped, or Completed) If no selection is made, the system considers the course “In Progress” based on start and stop dates.  This can be set for all courses via Data Administrator >> Configure Settings >> Default Settings/Values >> Subject/Course Default Settings.

7. Click Save.

Adding One or More Courses to One or More wSLPs 

You can also add one or more courses to one or more wSLPs.

For Example: 

• Select Algebra 1 and add it to the wSLPs of all students who will be completing that Course. 
• Select all 1st-grade courses and add them to the corresponding 1st-grade wSLPs.

1. To use this feature, navigate to either Certificated Teacher or Registrar >> Courses Classes >> All Courses. 
2. Select the checkboxes to the left of one or more course names. 

3. Click on the Selected Gear in the top left and select Add Course (s) to wSLP(s).

4. A pop-up modal will open. Click the magnifying glass in the ALE Student Learning Plans field, click one or more checkboxes to the left, and click Accept.
   1. Use the column filters to search for specific students, filter by a specific grade level, and more. 
5. Click Save.

Once you are done adding courses to wSLPs, navigate to Certificated Teacher or Registrar >> Student Learning Plans >> All or My Student Learning Plans to check that courses were added correctly or to make additional adjustments to courses.
