Dear Families,

This week, we’re shining a light on Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs), our approach that transforms learning from a one-size-fits-all model into a personalized journey for every learner. We welcome learners to become active participants in their education, setting their own goals and charting their own paths. Through this journey, they’re not just mastering academic standards; they’re also building the essential skills of self-advocacy, time management, and critical thinking needed to become lifelong learners and empathetic citizens, ready to lead the way into the future.

If you have any questions for our team, please don’t hesitate to reach out to 661-429-3757 or info.exploration@ileadav.org. And be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected!

With gratitude,

Terri Budke
iLEAD AV Exploration Director
