2. The purpose of this session
This session looks at:
The rationale and practice associated with review, reflection and planning
How this relates to individual learning plans
What an ILP might look like
There are three key areas to be covered about the relationship between ILP and student success

3. Consider the guidance process
Why bother?
Questions that people ask…
What is this all about?
Is it really necessary and how does it help?
What’s in it for me (students, tutors, parents)
Is an ILP an answer
Suggest some possibilities of a rationale for linking ILPEG and the benefits that may be achieved for the college, for staff and last but not least, the students

4. Know thyself What’s this all about?
‘In guidance we should be concerned not with helping individuals to make wise decisions but with helping them to make decisions wisely’
Martin Katz
Know thyself
What is guidance about? Is it telling people how, why or when? Or is it about empowering young people to take responsibility for their academic life and lifestyle choices and how ILP can help with this.
