This slide presentation introduces Follow The Child, a broad, personalized education initiative for New Hampshire Students which should serve as a means for schools and districts to increase student aspirations and promote success. The emphasis of the initiative is on personalized learning which focuses on each student’s academic, social, physical, and personal, needs. The initiative includes a reevaluation of minimum standards, providing extended learning opportunities, and developing a competency-based assessment. This presentation also lists high school redesign support structures for schools and districts; provides a sample lesson plan and competency-based transcript; and introduces a list of eight conditions which influence student aspiration and abilities. This presentation provides an example of creating a larger initiative to tie-together several goals and projects for high school redesign that can be used as an example for any state or district.

Background and Context
Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) are personalized student education plans that include information such as high school courses, post- secondary education and career interests, and extracurricular activities. State approaches to developing and implementing ILPs are as varied as the information that goes into them. But even with those differences, common purposes and similar challenges drive states to require their students to complete ILPs.
