Secondary Transition Regional Communities of Practice
The VDOE TTAC at RU, in partnership with the Center on Transition Innovations, is supporting school divisions in Superintendent's Regions 6 and 7 through regional Communities of Practice. These CoPs are focused on sharing information relative to secondary transition planning, including but not limited to: age-appropriate transition assessment, community resources, postsecondary goals, family engagement, and school/community successes and challenges.
If you are involved with any aspect of postsecondary transition support in a region 6 or 7 school/division and would like to participate in these CoPs, please contact Katie Ginn at kginn@radford.edu.
Secondary Transition Planning Resources
The Virginia Department of Education has created a centralized statewide portal for information, resources, demonstration, and research for educators and other stakeholders in the transition of youth with disabilities. The Center on Transition Innovations (CTI) at Virginia Commonwealth University provides evidence-based resources and information along with emerging practices in the field. The results of research studies and demonstration projects conducted here in Virginia help us shape the ongoing work of CTI.
The TTAC and George Mason University has developed a document to help crosswalk Kohler et al. Taxonomy for Transition Programming, the Transition Services Flowchart, and High Leverage Practices (HLPs) with professional learning opportunities and other resources. The transition crosswalk document can be accessed here.
VDOE's Transition Services Website
VDOE's Transition Services website provides support, information and resources designed to improve the outcomes of students with disabilities in transition from middle / secondary education to postsecondary education and employment.
