Once a Student Learning Plan (SLP) has been “Initiated” and the Details tab has been filled out, the plan is ready for the Certificated Teacher to add courses. 

Helpful Resource: ✏️ ALE Creating & Editing Courses  (Connect)

  1. Start under Student Learning Plans in the left navigation menu and select All Student Learning Plans or My Student Learning Plans. 
  2. The School Year column defaults to the current year. Use the filter at the top of the column to view the upcoming school year.

  1. To edit a plan, click on the student’s name. 
  2. You will see the Manage Student Learning Plan page defaulted to the Subjects/Courses tab.
  3. Click the Add Course button in the upper right corner to add the first course. 

  • In the Subject/Course section:
    1. If you have a predefined course template in your course catalog, you can select a course in the Course Template field, which automatically backfills the corresponding Course Title, Subject Area, State Course Code, and Description fields if defined in the course. 
      • Click the magnifying glass in the Course Template field and click the checkbox to the left.
    2. You may also build a course from start to finish here, making individual selections. 
      • Fill in the Course Title and optional Description fields. 
      • Then, select the magnifying glass in the Subject Area and State Course Code fields, and select the checkbox to the left, even if there is no associated “course” in your catalog. 
  • In the Instruction section:
    1. The Grade Level field defaults to the student's enrolled grade level, but can be manually changed to accommodate students studying a particular course outside their grade level.
    2. Click the magnifying glass icon in the ALE Class Type field, then select the checkbox to the left. (Remote, Online, Site-based (weekly), Site-based (less than weekly)). This field can be set to default by the Data Administrator if that is helpful for your program.  
    3. 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, the default is the Certificated Teacher assigned to the plan. In either case, it can be edited as needed.

  • In the Dates/Times section:
    1. By default, the Start and End Dates are set to this Student Learning Plan's start and end dates, but can be updated as needed.  
    2. If an 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 can also be left blank, as some programs choose not to identify hours spent per course.
    3. Click the magnifying glass in the Participation Status field and click the checkbox to the left to indicate: 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.

  1. Once all desired selections are made, click Save to add the course to the plan. 
  2. Click the magnifying glass in the ALE Course Name column to view the Manage Core Subject Area and Course page.
  3. Click the Activities Objectives tab at the top of the page. If a predefined course was selected, all associated data has now been copied into the Subject/Course record for the student and can be edited to meet their individualized needs.
  4. Once done, click Save or click the “X” in the upper right to close the window.
  5. Continue adding courses to the plan as desired. 
  6. Once the course(s) are ready, they should be approved. If you are just building the learning plan at the start of the year, you can skip this step, and all courses will be marked as “approved” when the overall plan is approved.  
  7. Use the Row Action gear at the far right of each course and select one of the following: 

  1. Approve Course
  2. Complete Course
  3. Edit Course Details: Only the Certificated Teacher assigned to the SLP, any Supplemental Certificated Teachers assigned to the plan, or the Certificated Teacher assigned to teach that course can make edits to the course. All others will have view-only rights.
  4. Hide Course: A student's learning plan’s subject/course records can be hidden rather than completely deleted to ensure that no vital information is ever mistakenly deleted. Once the Hide action is taken, the subject/course record will have a participation status of Hidden. The subject/course record is never deleted, only hidden from view. 

    1. Courses with a Hidden participation status will no longer be included in any Monthly Progress Review. 
    2. Subject/course records with a Hidden participation status will be filtered from the subject/course table by default. By using the Participation Status column filter, they can be selected for display.  
    3. To restore this subject/course record, the Certificated Teacher assigned to this record, or the person overseeing the plan, can choose Edit Details, change the participation status to In Progress or Null (Blank), and update the start/end dates.  
  1. To modify courses en masse, click one or more checkboxes to the left.

    1. Click the Selected Gear in the top left and choose one of the following options:
      • Complete Courses
      • Edit Selected Courses
      • Approve Courses
