Personal Learning Time (PLT) Implementation đź’ˇ

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 after first block every Wednesday and Thursday from 9:43-10:31 AM.

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

Wednesday, September 10:  All students will remain in their Block E class for PLT at 9:43 AM
(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.

Thursday, September 11:  All students will remain in their Block A class for PLT at 9:43 AM
(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 PLT Bookings.

Wednesday, September 17:  Students sign up for a learning space of one of their current teachers
Come with a plan on how to use the time!

Thursday, September 18:  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 24, 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.
