Introduction to Secondary Transition for Middle Schools
8:30 AM - 12:00 PM
This training session will introduce practitioners to the IDEA’s secondary transition planning requirements and share ways in which middle schools can prepare students to actively engage in the transition planning process, including participation in (a) career awareness and exploration activities, (b) self-determination skill development activities, and (c) age-appropriate transition assessments that will guide IEP teams in selecting transition goals, services, and activities. There will be an emphasis on how to facilitate student-led IEPs for students in order to actively engage in the IEP process.
