ED 670 Transition Planning and Services

(3 credits)
The purpose of this course is to provide an understanding of the transition processes and procedures integral to comprehensive secondary educational programming. Transition-focused education is an outcomes oriented approach to helping students plan and prepare for life after high school in the areas of post-secondary education, employment and independent living. This course examines transition related legislation and planning requirements and explores the various services and instructional methods in transition and career development that support students as they move from middle school through high school and into early adulthood. The course emphasizes evidence-based best practices with a focus on self-determination and self-advocacy, on-going student-centered transition and career assessments, inclusive community-based instruction, aligning transition instruction with standards based curriculum and interagency and family collaboration. Students will participate in Stage 1, 2 and 3 fieldwork experiences. They will have the opportunity to interview school and community based transition professionals and transition-aged youth. Along with observing transition-focused education, students will develop and teach a lesson on self-determination.

IMPORTANT: This course requires fieldwork. Students must have current required clearances on file with the School of Education. (See Obtaining Clearances)
