Transition Incentive Grant Aid Funding Transition Services

The Transition Incentive Grant Aid received from completion of district Indicator 14 surveys can be a great way to provide funding for transition services for students. The included video montage is from a recent trip students from NOVA High School in Milwaukee took to explore careers in skilled trades. These students were able to meet and network with employers and get hands on experience in the field. The day ended with positive comments from the students and several students being invited to meet for interviews. If you are looking for ideas on using Transition Incentive Grant Aid for your district, you will want to view this 3 minute video!

PTP Tip - Use of "Other"

Hello! This PTP Tip of the Month is a follow up to the use of "other" in the PTP and addresses how you can make sure to capture all of the discussions at the IEP meeting. So often, the radio button options provided might not appear to capture exactly what we want to say. Here is a way to do that and more! Reminder - radio buttons assist us with compliance and the additional information boxes capture and add to the meaning and intent of the discussions.

This box in your PTP is a great place to add the robust discussions of your IEP meeting to honor the student wishes, but also the members on the IEP team and their valuable contributions. This section of the PTP assists us in creating both compliant and meaningful transition plans without the worry of non-compliance. It helps tell the transition journey.
Study Skills Diagnostics Age Appropriate Transition Assessment

Do you have students who have a Postsecondary Goal to attend college? Have you thought about ways to have them assess their skills and identify where they should increase their skills to be successful? These can be great Pre Employment Transition Services for students. The Study Skills Diagnostics from the University of Central Florida allows students and IEP teams to look at students' study habits, learning styles, test anxiety, and other factors to determine where they can grow as a student. Check out the attached video to get ideas of how this assessment can drive identification of Pre Employment Transition Services within the PTP.
