<h1>Abstract</h1><p> </p><p>This paper focuses on whether individual development plans as well as action programmes are needed.</p><p>Pupils in need of particular support get to be involved in an action programme – the school needs to provide any particular support a pupil needs. However, the individual development plan does not substitute the action programme. Thus an action programme as well as an individual development plan will be provided to students in need of particular support.</p><p>The individual development plan follows the pupil throughout the entire education, regardless of whether its content changes, whilst the action programme pertains to a limited period of time. Pupils that are not in need of particular support are not likely to need to set goals for themselves in addition to those already set outside of school. An action programme is primarily concerned with affecting the conditions under which the pupils carry out their work.</p><p> </p><p>The results of my study indicate that the individual development plan is yet another duty on part of the teachers, but with exceptionally scarce repayment. According to teachers at the school explored, the individual development plan generates little or no progress for pupils already involved in an action programme. A thoroughly crafted action programme is sufficient, according to teachers participating in the study. A pupil not in need of particular support will not need the individual development plan either, according to the teachers – it would merely be another paper to look at during development talks, but it would not benefit the pupil or the teacher.</p>
