The Renzulli Personal Success Plan is a research-based*, goal-oriented assessment and treatment tool that establishes student ownership of the value of his education. In partnership with the New York Department of Education, Drs. Joe Renzulli and Sally Reis have created a program that raises achievement by engaging students and building confidence in their ability and capacity to succeed.
Each student begins by creating a "Top Three" list of their INTERESTS, HEROES & HELPERS, and CAREERS. Students then establish PLANS and set both long- and short-term social, academic and ultimately economic goalsto support their Personal Success Plan. The Renzulli Personal Success Plan provides students with a roadmap of achievable tasks that lead the way to proven results and personal success!
The Renzulli Personal Success Plan is designed to encourage students to "Think, Dream, Plan and Succeed" This program provides proven instructional strategies that raise achievement values in test scores, grades, and attendance.
The Personal Success Plan engages students by helping them to identify their interests, understand how to develop these interests into talents, associate themselves with role models, and ultimately create meaningful, attainable goals and plans.
