Providence Transition Elective
description
Transcript of Providence Transition Elective
Provide a more formal practice of transition instruction to 11th grade students within
district
Present transition requirements to an increased number of students across district
Bring transition related requirements to the attention of administrators at the building
level
Questions we must help students answer:
What are my Post-School goals for . . .. . . education/training?. . . employment?. . . independent living?
How will I meet my Post-School goals? What transition services would help me reach my
goals? What program of study/courses would help me
reach my goals? What IEP goals would help me reach my goals?
This elective is not going to fix the transition issue for the district
We are still going to have the “nay-sayers”
Only targeting 11th grade students; what about the other students
This elective is NOT a transition program BUT an elective that will provide the necessary broad stroke of transition
Include:
Accountability
Summary of Performance Emphasis on Standards-Based/Transition-
Focused IEP Goals
Develop realistic and meaningful IEP goals & objectives
Make instructional programming decisions

All IEP academic goals and functional learning goals must create a connection to one or more of the student’s broad transition outcomes
Academic goals must be directly referenced to a GLE/GSE
