Covey Habit #2: Begin with the end in mind. “Having the end in mind gives insight: are the steps we take today in the right direction?”
Transition Groups Definition and Checklists
- Defines possible post-secondary options for students
- WORK IN PROGRESS
○ Building level teams project ○ Rollout Spring 2018 or Transition Day 2018
- 4. How can we improve?
What are you being asked to do?
ALL areas of Transition are updated annually. Needs are described and linked to the disability. “If a student does not demonstrate a need in an area, an explanation is provided.”
How do we update annually?
Talk with someone next to you and discuss your current practice for annually updating transition information.
- What process or tools do you use?
- How do you summarize the information?
- How do you document the information in the IEP?
How do we identify needs?
Talk with someone next to you and discuss how you currently identify transition needs for students.
- What process or tools do you use?
- How do you make determinations on things like: post-secondary
goals, graduation planning, whether to include support from
- utside agencies, etc?
- What are some common needs students have related to
transition?
How do we explain if a student does not have a need?
There are….. ….no needs…. ...in this area… ...at this time.
A couple things to ponder... need - nēd/ Verb
- 1. require (something) because it is essential or
very important.
All students have things they need to improve before adulthood.
“Need” from a compliance standpoint Identified NEED Annual IEP Goal Student would “benefit from” Addressed in IEP
Example - I do.
...[student] needs to improve his/her reading comprehension and vocabulary skills to gainfully engage in college entrance testing. Annual IEP goal(s) in reading comprehension and vocabulary. …[student] would benefit from use
- f a computer for written work
more than one page in length. Accommodation for computer for written work.
Example - We do.
...[student] needs to improve his/her ability to maintain attention for periods of time longer than 10 minutes in order to participate effectively and appropriately in the post-secondary setting. …[student] would benefit from increased exploration of careers of interest to him/her.
Example - You do.
…[student] needs to improve his/her math skills in order to be successful as cashier at Home Depot. …[student] would benefit from scheduled breaks to assist with task endurance and to maintain focus.
Linking Needs to Goals and Services
What are you being asked to do?
ALL areas of Transition are updated annually. Needs are described and linked to the disability. “If a student does not demonstrate a need in an area, an explanation is provided.”
Covey Habit #2: Begin with the end in mind. “Having the end in mind gives insight: are the steps we take today in the right direction?” How do we do this in an IEP?
PLAAFP with a Link to Transition includes... Future goals Present Levels of Performance (including Transition) → NEEDS What are we going to do? Why?
Let’s do one...
Student’s strength is s/he is able to write interesting pieces that are engaging to read. Student struggles with writing complex sentences and spelling, especially as sentences require more detail and information to explain a topic. Student’s writing skills will be measured using the CBM writing probe criteria. Student will be given a topic sentence, 30 seconds of think time and 3 minutes to
- write. Scoring procedures measure correct word sequences. A correct word
sequence is two adjacent words, correctly spelled and syntactically and semantically appropriate.
As of [month] [year], Student was able to write a total of 58 total word sequences with an average of 48 correct word sequences in three minutes. Typical 8th grade students are able to write 63 correct word sequences in three minutes. Student is discrepant from his peers in the area of writing. According to the Ten Sigma TRAX survey for Secondary Transition, Student needs to increase his/her ability to follow and write written directions. Student needs to improve his/her written expression to increase his/her ability to write in a manner that others can understand. Student will need to be able to write clearly in order to be successful in the post-secondary setting or when working in a job in the construction industry.
PLAAFP with a Link to Transition includes... Future goals Present Levels of Performance (including Transition) → NEEDS What are we going to do? Why?
Let’s take a look...
Future goal
- Work in construction
Present Levels of Performance (including Transition) → NEEDS
- Written Expression/Spelling
- Baseline & Method for measurement
- TRAX identified writing as a need also
What are we going to do? Why?
- Work on increasing written expression
- Allow student higher level of opportunity in
post-secondary options or a construction career and in the academic setting
Let’s try another...
Student's strength is that s/he is able to seek help from peers when s/he does not feel stressed or overwhelmed. S/he is also able to give advice to peers when in a small setting. In order to develop Social Skills, Student is being monitored using the social skills
- probe. **Explains probe & method for data collection.**
As of [month] [year], Student scored 32 out of 50 on the social skills probe. Typical peers scored a 50 out of 50. Student is discrepant from his/her peers in the area of social skills. Student needs to increase his/her social skills in order to be successful in the post-secondary setting and the workplace.
Your turn...
Future goal Present Levels of Performance (including Transition) → NEEDS What are we going to do? Why?
Remember!
What are the requirements for Transition PLAAFPs?
- ALL areas updated EVERY YEAR
- Use information from “age appropriate assessments” (TRAX,
student interview, etc.)
- Identified “NEED” → Annual goal
- Benefit → Addressed in IEP
- Create a link between Post-Secondary Goals, Student
Needs/Benefits, and Annual Goals
- If there is no need in a transition area, say so
