Not PL Ready/ PL Ready 

• Students are prepared for postsecondary success primarily or solely based on academics.     
• Learners may or may not have a Learner profile, but they are not actively engaged in progress monitoring nor are their artifacts of evidence of mastery being captured in a portfolio.  
• There are few opportunities for students to make decisions about their learning. Instruction is carried out mainly in a whole group structure.
• There is no evidence of students being aware of their digital citizenship beyond simple rules for engaging legally and ethically when using digital tools.

Consistent Practice/ Personalized 

• Students are prepared for postsecondary success through a commitment by the campus to include more than traditional academic indicators in their articulation of graduate outcomes. (ie: includes, skills and dispositions).
• Students have a learner profile which they access regularly to monitor their progress towards mastery of all graduation outcomes.
• Students have a digital portfolio where they capture artifacts of their evidence of mastery of graduation outcomes.
• Students are active in decision making about their learning experiences, through goal setting and progress monitoring, choices about when and how to demonstrate mastery, and choices about how to complete tasks, etc.
• Students use digital platforms regularly to create their digital identity, and they are supported in cultivating a positive and productive digital presence while abiding by legal and ethical norms. ​
