Present Levels of Performance (PLOP) are essential information that describes what a student knows and can do right now. This information helps teachers and parents understand a student’s strengths and weaknesses and decide what the student should learn next. A PLOP includes information about a student’s academics, behaviors, and physical abilities. It is critical to write the PLOP in an easy-to-understand format that includes information about the student’s background and family. The PLOP is used to help write the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP), a plan for their education. The IEP includes goals for the student and the services and support they will receive to help them reach their goals. The PLOP is updated each year so that it always reflects the student’s current abilities and needs.
PLOP is a valuable tool that helps parents and educators assess a student’s current abilities and determine their educational needs.
By utilizing PLOP, educators and parents can create personalized education plans that address the unique needs and abilities of each student, ensuring a targeted and effective learning experience.
