Elevating Education: Investigating High-Quality ILP Implementation in Nevada Schools

This qualitative research study examined the implementation of high-quality Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) in Nevada high schools. Data from participating schools were analyzed using content analysis to assess the ILP documents and implementation processes. Findings revealed a significant lack of quality ILP features, with schools struggling to meet established standards. Limited resources, including funding, personnel, and time, were key barriers to effective ILP implementation. Furthermore, the study highlighted the absence of culturally relevant experiences within the ILP process. The results underscored the need for standardized ILP frameworks, resource allocation, and the integration of equity-focused strategies to improve ILP quality. Policymakers, educators, and stakeholders can utilize these findings to enhance ILP implementation and support student success in college and career readiness.
