  22. Step 3: Check compliance and “effective practices” for transition services. Do I have: measurable postsecondary goals based upon age-appropriate transition assessments? measurable, annual IEP goals that will assist the student in progressing toward his/her post-secondary goal? annual goals which include academic & functional goals? transition services that will reasonably enable the student to meet the post-secondary goals? the course of study needed to assist the child in reaching post-secondary goals?

  23. Step 4: Check compliance and “effective practices” for post-secondary outcomes. POST-SECONDARY GOALS: • appropriate and measurable • based upon age-appropriate transition assessments • results of those assessments in the present levels • related to • training, • education, • employment, and, • where appropriate, independent living skills
