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? |
