Creating a Mileposts Plan ('At Risk' Plan)
Mileposts Plans were designed for students not making progress, even though one or more interventions have been in place.
Best Practices for the Mileposts Plans
Typically used for students deemed most ‘at risk’, or not making adequate progress even with interventions in place.
Often a prerequisite to an IEP Referral.
Generally has multiple interventions embedded.
Considered to be the next step up from a simple intervention.
NOTE: Keep documentation factual. What is written matters!

Enter the Begin Date, add any individuals to notify and add to the plan team and then click Save.
Scroll down in the Educational Support tab and click on the School Year to enter the Mileposts Plan.
Click any link to modify the Plan Information, Add Attachment, modify the Plan Basis, modify the Plan Goals, Add Team Member, modify the Parent Responsibilities, modify the Student Responsibilities, Add Approval, Add Intervention, Add Progress Monitor, Add Note, Add Review or Close Plan. The Mileposts plan is extensive with many different sections and items that can be added.
Many sections have ready made templates for your use, including the Plan Goals, Parent Responsibility and Student Responsibility. To access these click the Templates button from within the Modify link for the section.
The Plan Approval Box simply allows the Plan Manager to document the meeting with the Parent(s) and Student.
The Interventions and Progress Monitor boxes document interventions and progress monitors tied to this particular plan.
The Progress Notes, Contacts, and Miscellaneous Notes provide a space for this type of note (keep notes factual).
The Close Plan and Enter Final Outcome box are left blank until the date and time the plan is closed (which is often at the end of the school year).
