1. PLP Comprehensive Redesign

The PLP engine that powers Connect to Literacy is sharper, more consistent, and aligned to your calendar. This year's enhancements deepen personalization, give district leaders more control, and give teachers richer signals about how every student is progressing.

Overview

PLP-1 placement now pulls directly from official state ELP scale scores, so every student starts the year at the right point. Districts skip the manual BOY setup, and daily instruction stays in lockstep with state data — making for a smoother launch, less admin lift, and a learning path that fits each student from day one.

Sharper precision at placement

Scale-score-driven placement provides far greater granularity than proficiency-level placement, so each student's PLP-1 reflects the nuances of their state data from day one.

Stronger alignment to state data.

A direct link between TELPAS results and the PLP keeps daily instruction in lockstep with the data your team is accountable to.

Less administrative lift at BOY

District teams move from manual setup to a streamlined data flow, freeing time during the busiest part of the year.

More confident first weeks

Teachers begin instruction with a path that already reflects each learner's true starting point, supporting earlier intervention decisions.

Overview

PLP pacing now syncs to your district's instructional calendar — holidays, assessment windows, and non-instructional days included. Edits recalculate instantly and log automatically, so pacing reports reflect your real school year and on-track conversations are grounded in the time students have.

Pacing that reflects your real calendar

Apply non-instructional days so that expected pacing recalculates immediately to match your district's actual instructional time.

More trustworthy progress signals

Prepares students with test-aligned tasks to improve performance.

Cleaner coaching conversations

When pacing matches real calendars, leaders can intervene in time to ensure every student reaches their summit and reclassification timelines remain on-track.

Built-in audit trail for governance

A full log of every edit, with timestamps, user details, and change descriptions, provides the transparency district leaders need.

Overview

PLP-1, PLP-2, and PLP-3 durations are now standardized to fit a real school year, with time expectations calculated from task demand and recommended usage. Leaders gain a predictable cadence to plan around, and every classroom moves closer to the recommended 80-100 minutes.

More predictable pacing across the year

Standardized PLP-1, PLP-2, and PLP-3 durations create a consistent cadence, helping leaders plan instruction, professional learning, and reporting cycles with confidence.

Cleaner alignment to district expectations

Recommended weekly usage maps cleanly to district instructional minutes, simplifying schedule planning and accountability reporting.

Overview

PLP pacing now syncs to your district's instructional calendar — holidays, assessment windows, and non-instructional days included. Edits recalculate instantly and log automatically, so pacing reports reflect your real school year and on-track conversations are grounded in the time students actually have.

Pacing that reflects your real calendar

Apply non-instructional days so that expected pacing recalculates immediately to match your district's actual instructional time.

More trustworthy progress signals

Color-coded pacing lines that adjust to your calendar give teachers and admins a more accurate view of who is on track.
