SACE Change Network Revitalising the RP and PLP

A project focusing on revitalising Stage 2 Research Project (RP) and Personal Learning Plan (PLP) for teaching in 2022.

Produced prototype elements of the PLP and RP subject outline.
Together, we tested these prototypes through the SACE Change Network, which included 50 schools and 74 educators from across all sectors.

There is a high level of understanding about how the Thrive elements are applied to the revised PLP and RP subjects.
We need more information about how the elements will be represented within the prototype subject outlines.
There is moderate confidence in the direction for both the revised PLP & RP subjects, with general support for the PLP to move from ‘what I want to do’ to ‘who I want to be’ and a RP that drives active learning.
Concerns were raised around teacher and student workload.
There is uncertainty around the role SACE capabilities will have in the new PLP and RP subjects.

The nature of students’ evidence of learning and how this evidence demonstrates thrive needs to be tested.
Reduction in student and teacher workload is a priority.
Understand the future state of capabilities and how their assessment is integrated with the PLP and RP.
Design and develop prototype assessment types to demonstrate impact to thrive and test them with the SACE Change Network.
