PLT Implementation

Personal Learning Time (PLT) is a period of instructional time scheduled at least once a week that is set aside as “self-directed” time for students to learn with teacher support.  The goal of PLT is to teach students the skills necessary to use unstructured time in a way that benefits their individual learning.  PLT takes place every Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:30-9:30 AM. 

During the month of September, we will "prepare" students by gradually implementing PLT as follows:

Tuesday, September 12:  All students will start school at 8:30 AM in their Block A class
(Grade 11s without a class go to the LLC; Grade 12s without a class go to the Multipurpose)
- Teachers will distribute and review the PLT Handout and Planner.

Wednesday, September 13:  All students will start school at 8:30 AM in their Block E class
(Grade 11s without a class go to the LLC; Grade 12s without a class go to the Multipurpose)
- Teachers will review the PLT Sign-Up process including login information for MyWeeklyPlanner.

Tuesday, September 19:  Students sign up for a learning space of one of their current teachers
Come with a plan on how to use the time!

Wednesday, September 20:  Students sign up for a learning space of one of their current teachers
Come with a plan on how to use the time!

Beginning September 26, grade 10-12 students can sign up for any available learning space for PLT while grade 8-9 students can only sign up with one of their scheduled teachers.  Students should always come with a plan and prepared to use the time.  Students should sign up no later than the Monday before PLT - the earlier the better as some learning spaces run out of room quickly.
