Transition

 This section helps plan the activities needed for a student to transition to adult (post-secondary) life. Although a transition plan may be developed at any grade, it is required for students over the age of 16 or upon entry to 9th grade or above, whichever comes first. If a transition plan is being developed, this should be included as a meeting purpose and the student should be invited to the meeting. GO will automatically include Transition Plan as an appropriate purpose when a student reaches this age and/or grade. The student is always automatically included in a meeting notice. 


Annual IEP Transition Goals

Before beginning a transition plan, use appropriate grade level transition assessments to answer these questions: What are his/her plans for the future? What does he/she like to do? What  kind of things is he/she good at? What does he/she need to do in order to achieve those long-term plans?

Transition goals are assigned to one of three categories: Postsecondary Education and Training, Employment, and Independent Living if appropriate.
