  24. Part VI: Transition Planning

  25. Part VII: Present Levels … Example: Pat’s career interest is to get a masonry job with the family business right after high school. He plans to begin as a tender and move up as he develops needed skills. Since his reading and math scores are more than 3 years below grade level, he may not be able to earn his CTE certificate by graduation, but may select the IWRC program to earn a standard diploma. Note: This is one part of a Present Levels statement

  26. Part VII: Present Levels … Example continued: Pat will need to be able to solve problems using volume formulas both in HS Math II and for his stated occupation. He also needs to learn to use a calculator to be able to accurately figure volume in order to minimize waste. Note: This is one part of a Present Levels statement

  30. Part VII: Present Levels … Example: Stevie is in the skilled pathway and wants to earn a CTE certificate in Administrative Support, but currently lacks math and writing skills to be successful in required computer applications courses. She also needs to be able to complete editing and proofing assignments or use resources to correct mistakes of others. Possible enrollment in the IWRC program will allow her to enter the workforce with entry level skills for this occupational area. Note: This is one part of a Present Levels statement

  31. Part VII: Present Levels … Example continued: Stevie needs to develop work readiness skills that are also needed for academic success, including organization, effective interpersonal communication and prompt task completion. Note: This is one part of a Present Levels statement

Part VII: Present Levels … Example: Max is interested in working at a state park as a park manager, but ACT PLAN and WESTEST2 results indicate he is not on track to be ready for college, which is needed for a manager. He is considering entering the workforce, first as a park guide and maintenance staff person while continuing to improve his academic skills. He is interested in earning the IWRC, then working and attending school after graduation. Note: This is one part of a Present Levels statement

  37. Part VII: Present Levels … Example continued: Exploring a wider array of jobs in natural resources/forestry is recommended. Max needs to continue to develop grade level academic skills and explore requirements for the array of occupations of interest to be ready for and to select appropriate post school education or training programs that he is willing to pursue. Note: This is one part of a Present Levels statement
