Purpose and Alignment

The Individualized Learning Plan documents how Summit College Preparatory School delivers advanced instruction, curriculum compacting, and social-emotional supports to gifted and twice-exceptional students. In addition, the ILP mirrors Florida EP content and structure, which allows families to transition smoothly between private and public settings. Therefore, Summit schedules quarterly progress checks and an annual ILP conference to move beyond minimum review expectations and to sustain academic momentum.

Governance, Roles, and Meetings

The ILP Team includes the student, parent or guardian, a lead teacher or gifted specialist, the school counselor, and an administrator or ILP coordinator. When a content area requires deeper input, the relevant teacher joins as well. Consequently, Summit convenes an Initial ILP within thirty days of enrollment or identification, conducts quarterly progress reviews, honors on-demand review requests, and holds a formal annual ILP conference to reset goals and placements.

Summit keeps a signed ILP with dates, a service log, and a parent-facing copy in the protected student record. Moreover, families receive updates at no cost and may request a meeting at any time, which ensures transparency and timely action.

Eligibility and Intake

Summit begins with a parent or teacher referral and obtains consent to review records. Next, the intake file aggregates prior EP, IEP, or 504 plans, test scores, work samples, and language profiles. This evidence demonstrates superior intellectual development and a clear need for specialized programming. If the student is twice-exceptional, the IEP or 504 documents disability accommodations; meanwhile, the ILP reflects gifted goals and the acceleration plan so families keep a unified roadmap.

Required ILP Components

Student Profile and Present Levels

The ILP opens with a concise profile that states strengths, interests, languages, learning preferences, and current academic and social-emotional performance. Furthermore, baselines specify measurable starting points so the team can track growth precisely.

Annual Goals

Annual goals use SMART targets with a clear baseline, an end-of-year performance level, the measurement method, and scheduled checkpoints. As a result, goals guide acceleration, depth and complexity, and executive-function growth in a concrete way.

Services and Instruction

The ILP specifies compacted content, advanced readings, depth tasks, research projects, mentorship, competition pathways, and pacing for subject or whole-grade acceleration. In addition, entry and exit criteria describe how the student qualifies for acceleration and how the team verifies sustained success.

Assessment and Monitoring

Teachers monitor progress through unit mastery checks, observation notes, curated portfolio artifacts, and scheduled benchmark assessments. Consequently, mastery thresholds and evidence types remain clear for each goal and review cycle.

Advanced Pathways and Readiness

The ILP notes honors and Advanced-aligned rigor, independent study expectations, external world language certifications, and any dual enrollment readiness planning. This clarity supports accurate placement decisions and smooth transcript reviews.

SEL and Leadership

Social-emotional targets promote self-management, resilience, collaboration, and leadership through structured reflection, peer mentoring, and service opportunities. In turn, students build confidence while they advance academically.

Technology and Access

The ILP documents learning platforms, accessibility tools, and testing conditions. If the student is twice-exceptional, the IEP or 504 governs accommodations; the ILP mirrors those conditions so families read one consistent plan.

Transition Planning

The plan anticipates key milestones such as middle-to-high transitions or early graduation options and records the evidence required to support placement decisions. Consequently, the team updates courses and services before the next phase begins.

Signatures and Dates

The ILP includes signatures for parents or guardians, the student when appropriate, the coordinator, and teachers, along with the start date and the next review date. This finalizes the plan and assigns responsibility for implementation.

Service Models Summit Provides

Summit offers subject acceleration with mastery gates, curricular compacting that replaces repetition with depth, seminar and capstone options with publication or competition goals, accelerated language tracks aligned to CEFR and international exams, project-based studios in STEM and humanities, and counseling for dual enrollment readiness where appropriate. Accordingly, each plan matches services to the student’s evidence of need.

ILP Transcript & GPA Mapping

Each ILP goal links to a transcript entry. Records show: course title by term, credit value (0.5/1.0), final grade, grading scale, GPA method (unweighted 4.0), and any Honors/Advanced weighting printed on the record.

Carnegie hours: 1.0 credit ≈ 120+ hours; 0.5 credit ≈ 60+ hours (live instruction, labs/seminars, and directed independent work documented in Microsoft 365).

College Reporting & Verification

We issue official transcripts and verify records on request. Universities and testing agencies may contact the counselor/registrar directly.

Advanced Programs & Early College ILP Procedure

Readiness review: prerequisites met, current mastery evidence (rubrics/benchmarks/portfolio), executive-function check, parent consent.

Enrollment & records: counselor aligns calendars, verifies instructor-of-record, confirms proctoring. Grades flow to the Summit transcript with credit, scale, and weighting as published.

Support: 1-to-1 coaching by default; small-group seminars when collaboration raises the level of work. Details: Academic Counseling

Monitoring and Reporting Cadence

Weekly

Teachers track mastery against standards, pacing alerts, and brief notes on engagement and affect. In addition, short SEL check-ins appear in the service record to keep the team responsive.

Monthly

Families receive a one-page brief with goal status, new evidence, and the next steps for pacing and enrichment. The portfolio also updates with at least one academic artifact and one SEL or leadership reflection.

Quarterly

The ILP team meets to review standards mastery, growth metrics, and exemplars. As needed, the team adjusts goals and services and reconfirms any subject acceleration for the next quarter.

Annual

The team re-baselines present levels, sets new annual goals, and confirms next-year placements, competitions, and capstone or mentorship plans during the annual ILP conference. Consequently, families leave with a clear roadmap for the coming year.

Twice-Exceptional Protocol

When a disability exists, the IEP or 504 governs accommodations and testing conditions. Gifted goals integrate into that plan. Meanwhile, the Summit ILP mirrors those goals and adds enrichment, acceleration, and portfolio expectations, so families read a single, coherent roadmap and staff implement it consistently.

Data, Privacy, and Records

Summit provides parents with ILP documents and updates without charge, secures digital records with version history, and maintains transfer-ready documentation. As a result, receiving schools can interpret goals and services with no loss of meaning.

Acceleration and Early Graduation Planning

Counseling notes explain the evidence for acceleration decisions and the alignment with graduation requirements. Additionally, the ILP records course sequencing, competency milestones, and the portfolio artifacts that support early graduation or advanced placement decisions.

B. Annual Goals (SMART)

Goal 1 – Mathematics Acceleration

Baseline: The student has mastered Algebra I concepts with a ninety-five percent average and consistently scores in the ninety-ninth percentile on nationally normed math assessments.

Target: Complete Geometry and Algebra II within one academic year while maintaining a minimum average of ninety percent in both courses.

Measure: Cumulative course grades, unit mastery tests, and teacher observation logs. In addition, teachers capture short narrative notes after major assessments.

Checkpoints: Conduct a monthly review of grades and teacher feedback, verify quarterly mastery exam results, and close the year with a comprehensive portfolio review.

Goal 2 – Academic Writing in English

Baseline: The student writes organized essays with strong ideas but needs improvement in advanced grammar, sentence variety, and integration of sources across disciplines.

Target: Produce research-based essays of one-thousand two-hundred to one-thousand five-hundred words with advanced grammar accuracy of ninety-five percent or higher, effective transitions, and proper MLA citation in at least three subject areas.

Measure: Rubric-based evaluation of written assignments, targeted grammar assessments, and teacher commentary on revisions; moreover, the portfolio stores final drafts and reflections.

Checkpoints: Complete a monthly grammar and writing skills review, submit two graded research pieces each quarter, and finish with an annual writing portfolio assessment that verifies growth.

What Families Receive from Summit

Families receive an Initial ILP Packet within thirty days, monthly progress briefs, quarterly portfolio updates with exemplars and reflections, and an annual ILP report with next-year placements and capstone or mentorship plans. If a parent or teacher requests a review, Summit schedules an on-demand meeting within ten school days so the plan stays responsive.
