“But I’m not sure
what I want
to do after
high school!”
Building and using your transition assessment toolkit
![Page 21: Making Transition More Meaningful · Participants will be able to define transition and the purpose of transition. ... Cindy Felkins: High School Lead Special Education Teacher](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030819/5b317e967f8b9a94168e77d6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why transition assessments are
important!
Data is used to help develop realistic and meaningful
transition goals and objectives.
Data is used to make “program of study” decisions.
Data will provide insight into a student’s strengths,
interests, preferences, and needs.
Data will help students make a connection between what
they are doing NOW and what they want to do POST HIGH
SCHOOL.
Data will help provide a useful SOP.
![Page 22: Making Transition More Meaningful · Participants will be able to define transition and the purpose of transition. ... Cindy Felkins: High School Lead Special Education Teacher](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030819/5b317e967f8b9a94168e77d6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
No matter what assessment tool
you decide to use – make sure it
will give you the data you need
to develop a useful transition
plan!
![Page 23: Making Transition More Meaningful · Participants will be able to define transition and the purpose of transition. ... Cindy Felkins: High School Lead Special Education Teacher](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030819/5b317e967f8b9a94168e77d6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Questions students need answers to:
Who am I?
What do I want out of life?
What can I already do well now?
What is keeping me from getting what I
want/need from my school and my community?
What are my options in the school and community
for preparing me for what I want/need, now and
in the future?
