Providence Transition Elective Nancy C. Stevenin Director of Regional Transition Phone: 401-278-0520 Nancy.Stevenin@ppsd.org
Outcome: • 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
Outcome 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?
Concerns: • 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
IDEA 2004 Changes to Transition Include: • Accountability • Summary of Performance • Emphasis on Standards-Based/Transition-Focused IEP Goals
Transition Helps… • Develop realistic and meaningful IEP goals & objectives • Make instructional programming decisions • Students learn about themselves • Inform the IEP and Summary of Performance
Broad Relationship of Transition IEP to GLEs/GSEs • 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 • Functional learning goals can be connected to measureable annual goals and objectives/GSEs, addressed, directly, as transition services ,or through program of studies
On-going Assistance: • Quarterly meetings will be held to discuss • Curriculum challenges • Review of syllabus • What’s Working; What’s Not…. • Discussion for next year • Monthly Updates - On agenda at building level on early release days
