Research has shown that all students and especially those receiving special education who follow a carefully crafted transition plan are more likely to achieve post-secondary success. Helping professionals can craft these plans, but many may not be aware of the various resources available to ensure students’ successful transition. Additionally, educators are required by law to create a transition plan for students receiving special education by the age of 16; but, it is best practice to begin as early as middle school. So what are the available resources? How can helping professionals ensure that all students succeed in reaching their transition goals? The objectives of this interactive webinar will help answer these questions by introducing attendees to:
- Best practices for working with Individualized Education Program (IEP) Committees on transition plans.
- Career and technical education programs of study that allow for creation of dual credit and credentialing opportunities.
- State agencies that provide support for students in transition.
