or combined format resumes. The resume can be
printed from a web browser or exported as a Word,
text, or html file.

ILP Completion Standards
ILP Completion Standards clearly define the
objectives and expectations for students. With
the ILP Completion Status Bar, students can view
requirements and track their progress towards
meeting those specific objectives. Completion
Standards help ensure that students keep their
ILPs up to date. Each year students must review
and revise the required sections of their ILP and

completion.
ILP Completion Standards are set on a grade by
grade basis. The ILP is a progressive experience
for students as they build their plan over time.
