Who is the primary partner in the Domains/Activities/Partners model?

• A. Parents
• B. Students
• C. Teachers
• D. Administrators

Answer: (B)

The student is the primary partner. In this model, learning and plan development revolve around the student’s own goals, preferences, and agency. The domains represent areas the student cares about, the activities are what the student will do within those areas, and the partners are the people who support and enable those efforts. The emphasis is on student voice and ownership—the student sets the direction, and adults (parents, teachers, counselors, administrators) provide resources, guidance, and feedback to help the student succeed. While those adults are important collaborators, they support the student’s path rather than leading it.
