I am curious how many high school and middle school teachers of both low and high incidence disabilities, feel like they are knowledgeable enough about transition services. Additionally, how did you become knowledgeable - continuing education, mentors, self-educated, parent educated? I am currently working on my masters and researching the obvious gap between high school teachers and community service providers that inevitably results in frustration and delayed services for students.

I had PD on it and found a free transition curriculum on Schoology. Recently, I have been teaching 30 minutes a week on Casels SEL competencies. I tie it into transition. It a great way to show how social emotional learning is important in the real world. I also use Nearpod lessons for transition. Not only do they have SEL but also post secondary and employment interactive.

Hi, What is the url for the transition resource? I went to schoology but could not find anything on transition.

I believe you become more knowledgeable through professional development, self-discovery, and by actively communicating with outside agencies that support individuals after they transition from the high school setting. It is helpful to be familiar with agencies in your area that serve individuals with disabilities as well. There are also free checklists that educators can use to assist them in writing goals and providing services to their students.

I try to attend a Transition Conference each summer. I also try to take my students to the Transition Fair each year. Attending both of these really helps with networking. We also have Pre-Employment Transition Services (PETS) meet with our students once a month. Voc-Rehab and Preferred Family Health also meet with my current juniors regarding the Summer Work Experience Program (SWEP). Getting the students involved with them early helps get their files opened early with Voc-Rehab their senior year. I've also attended TOPs training.

My covid brain can't remember exactly what the acronym stands for, but the training is great! They teach you how to use the transition plan, Form C, to drive the rest of the IEP and meet all the standards and indicators.

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention?

Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits.

I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?
