high school!”

Building and using your transition assessment toolkit

Page 21: Making Transition More Meaningful · Introductions: Bleckley County Transition Team Debbie Puckett: Director of Student Support Services and Federal Programs Libby …

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 · Introductions: Bleckley County Transition Team Debbie Puckett: Director of Student Support Services and Federal Programs Libby …

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 · Introductions: Bleckley County Transition Team Debbie Puckett: Director of Student Support Services and Federal Programs Libby …

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?
