Transition Planning and the IEP
IDEIA 2004: Transition Core Principles
The Transition Coalition* describes transition using three core principles.
- 
A Results-oriented process
 - 
A Student-centered process
 - 
A Coordinated effort
 
These three principles summarize the definition of the transition process in IDEIA.
Use these three essential components in a brief self-reflection of your team's current transition practices.
        
| Person Orientated | Agency Orientated | 
|---|---|
| Are We Results-oriented? | Or Are We Task- Oriented? | 
| Are We Student-centered? | Or Are We Program-Centered? | 
| Are Our Efforts Coordinated? | Or Are the Efforts Splintered and Disconnected? |
