Our partnership with NMPED was designed to streamline the Next Step Plan (NSP) process for all students in New Mexico.
Here are some of the capabilities of Plans:
For Students: We guide you through each section of the NSP—from goal-setting to next-year planning. When complete, request digital approval from your educator and guardian, all within the platform.
For Educators: Assign NSPs, monitor progress live, edit entries, and approve with a digital signature.
For Administrators: Add your district’s course catalog, track NSP completion across schools, and export data for easy reporting.
For Guardians: Activate your account and review your student’s NSP with the ability to digitally sign off.
Assigning the Plan
Through a Group: Navigate to the Plans tab and assign to your entire group or a subset of students.
Through the Plans > Assign page: Filter and select the students you’d like to assign to, then assign the plan.
Unassigning Plans: Select students and click the unassign button. If you mistakenly Unassigned a plan, don't worry, the student's progress is saved. Simply reassign the plan and the student can pick up where they left off.
Tracking Progress
Navigate to the Plans page or to a Group, then select a plan to view progress.
There are two different progress views:
Summary view: Quickly see the status of students.
Detailed view: See exactly where a student is in their plan.
Educator Preview: On the Plan progress page, click the Preview button to preview the plan.
Reviewing and Approving Individual Plans
The progress tracking tables will show a “Review” button when student plans are ready for your approval.
Click “Review” to be taken to the individual student's plan summary page, where you can review a student's plan, then request changes or approve the plan.
Parent/Guardian Signature: If a guardian isn’t receiving approval request emails, a signature link is available for students or educators to send directly. If you are unable to obtain a signature after 5 contact attempts, a checkbox appears to mark it as “Not obtained,” allowing you to complete the plan without a Guardian signature.
Reporting
Navigate to the Plans > Reports tab to export a CSV report documenting student completion.
