Adding a Personalised Learning Plan Outcome for a Student

The Personal Learning Plan feature enables teachers to write personalised student outcome under headings determined by the school.

Personal Learning Plan goals are specific to individual students and sit outside the sets of curriculum or values goals. These goals can have posts and evidence linked to them and can be made visible to parents but will not generate data.
