IEP+Transistion+Document

We (Nashoba) have done signficant work on "Transition" as prescribed by IDEA. The documents attached are meant to be used in an ongoing fashion from the time the student turns 14.

Transistion Skills Assessment - our version of what skills are necessary for a successful transition to post secondary life. It is meant to be a "one size fits all" approach, as we assume the work done with kids will cull out the individual needs. We expect this assessment to be done year, and often it may generate more specific transition activities in the TEAM meeting. Transistion Skills - Individual Response is a worksheet for the Sped Liaison, teachers, parents and/or student to use to capture the student's assessment of his progress. Transistion Skills - Master is where the cumulative responses are stored. Transistion Skills Strategies & Resources - where we are trying to store those "strategies" which will help us gather data to measure this skill. Pretty flexible, and we are putting together a drawer (both electronic and paper) to store "assessments" that we come across that will be helpful with some of the specific skill area. Transistion Skills Portfolio Activity Log - we view transistion as something happening through the day and year. There will be a variety of ways that topics are addressed in the classroom, whether academic, health, elective, that come to bear on transistion. If a student successfully completes a large assignment indepently, that might demonstrate strenghts in executive functioning or self-advocacy, etc. You get the picture.



I'm also including this "Student Summary of Performance" which I came across on a site called Virginia College Quest. It looks like this is required under IDEA, and the format proposed by this group would make a good final piece to our transistion work. While our Sped team hasn't formally adopted it, we are looking at it and so I thought I would post it for you.



Hope this helps, Jodi
