All special educators who teach secondary students will be required to create transition plans that are meaningful and appropriate for the student. Transition plans go one step further than the IEP by adding specific goals and services that will help the student be successful after graduation in future education and training, in the community, and/or in the workforce. Being able to do an effective transition plan is a legal requirement for high school special education teachers.

Part 1: Transition Plan

Read "Case Scenario: Alex." an IDEA-compliant transition plan for Alex using a template of your choice. The plan should address the following.

Identify Alex's strengths, preferences, and interests.

Measurable postsecondary goals for education/vocational training, jobs and employment, and independent living.

Support for IEP goals and services including transition activities and people/agencies who can provide support.

Part 2: Sharing a Transition Plan

Explain all parts of the transition plan.

Identify 2-3 strategies that will be employed to promote a successful transition for Alex.

Describe 2-3 collaboration strategies that you can use when working with Alex and his parents/guardians as the transition plan is executed and progress towards his goals is monitored.
