Rhode Island ILP mandate
Rhode Island Individual Learning Plan (ILP): Grades 6–12 Portfolio Across Academic, Career & Personal Domains
200-RICR-20-10-2 (Secondary Design regulations) requires every student in grades 6–12 to develop and maintain a living Individual Learning Plan portfolio that documents academic and applied-learning interests, supports three domains (academic, career, personal/social), and is reviewed at least twice annually plus at key transitions (middle-to-high school and high school-to-postsecondary).
In Brief
Rhode Island's Individual Learning Plan is one of the oldest state career-planning mandates (required since 2005, now codified in the Secondary Design regulations, 200-RICR-20-10-2) and operates as a six-year portfolio that follows a student from grade 6 through graduation. Unlike many states' annual plans, the ILP is a *cumulative living document*—it grows with the student and is formally reviewed at least twice per school year, plus at pivotal transition moments (8th-to-9th grade and 12th grade-to-postsecondary).
The ILP's three-domain structure (academic, career, personal/social) reflects research showing that career readiness depends on whole-person development, not just job matching. Students document not just 'what career fits?' but 'what are my academic strengths, how do I handle challenges, and what personal/social skills do I need to succeed?' This integrated model positions Rhode Island as a leader in career planning rigor.

District-tier pricing
Scale is $199/mo and covers 200 people per billing period — one person, however many assessments they take, and a class-code arrival counts the same as an emailed invite. Growth is $999/mo for 1,000. Above that, or where enrolment should not be metered at all, it is an Enterprise conversation rather than a larger self-serve plan. A district-sized enrolment runs out of the monthly tiers quickly — the Education Licence below prices your whole enrolment per student for the year, assessments uncapped, and adds the full career and skills corpus.

Education Licence — priced per student, per year
One rate per enrolled student for the academic year, sized for Rhode Island district or school-level ILP rollouts. Assessments uncapped, career and skills corpus included — multiply your own enrolment by the band and you have the most this can cost before you talk to us.
$1.25 down to $0.80 per student, per year — assessments uncapped
That multiplication is a ceiling, not a bill. If our self-serve plans would cover the same number of students for less, you are quoted the lower figure — we do not sell an institution its own students back at a higher price than anyone can buy them for on the pricing page.

£350 per school, per year — a flat whole-school licence rather than a per-student rate, because that is the unit UK schools budget in. Same uncapped assessments and same corpus. Excludes VAT.
The ladder starts at 1,301 students. Below that a self-serve plan already covers your whole roll for less than a licence would, so that is what we will point you at — and UK schools have the flat whole-school licence above at any size. Bands are by enrolment, and the rate applies to your whole roll rather than to a seat count you have to predict. Invoiced annually against a purchase order; no per-assessment charge and nothing to top up mid-year. Assessing an institution's enrolled students is covered by the Education Licence, not by a hiring plan. What is in the corpus.

A course selection form is annual and transactional—'What classes will you take this year?' The ILP is a six-year portfolio that documents academic strengths, career interests, and personal/social growth alongside course choices. It answers: 'What am I learning about myself? How are my choices moving me toward my goals? What support do I need?' JobCannon's RIASEC and Skills Audit feed this deeper narrative by showing students' emerging strengths and career patterns across years.
No—'personal/social' goals refer to documented growth in areas like communication, collaboration, leadership, resilience, and self-advocacy. For example, 'I want to improve my presentation skills' or 'I need to work on time management.' These are directly career-relevant competencies. JobCannon's Skills Audit identifies communication, teamwork, and problem-solving as key competencies; counselors can use those results to frame personal/social goals that matter for job success, not vague self-help.
The regulation requires a 'written document' and 'living document/portfolio,' implying formal record-keeping, not just counselor notes. Districts typically use digital portfolios or printed worksheets. JobCannon's printable Career Guide PDF and assessment results serve as formal documentation checkpoints; counselors can archive those alongside other ILP records, creating an audit trail that satisfies the 'living document' requirement.
Transfer students should get a new ILP entry (starting at their current grade, not re-doing the full six-year history), informed by any prior-state career planning documentation. The RI ILP's three-domain structure may differ from other states' plans, so use the transfer student's prior results as background, then assess them fresh using JobCannon to align to Rhode Island's ILP framework.
The rule requires a formal transition meeting in grade 12 but doesn't mandate colleges accept or continue the ILP. The school's role is to ensure the student has documented their academic achievements, career readiness, and personal/social growth by graduation, and to facilitate a school-to-postsecondary conversation. JobCannon's Career Guide PDF can be shared with the student to take to college advising, but the ILP itself is a K-12 requirement, not a college document.
200-RICR-20-10-2 does not explicitly require a formal, standardized career-assessment instrument—career interests are to be 'documented,' but the regulation does not mandate a specific assessment tool, giving districts flexibility in how they conduct interest discovery.
