Purpose: The subsequent “Examples and Nonexamples” are intended
as a training resource for state and district personnel responsible for (a) collecting
data for the Part B Annual Performance Report Indicator 13 and (b) improving performance
of districts on Indicator 13. The document is also intended as a resource for practitioners
as they develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The examples are intended
to guide personnel in developing IEPs that adequately meet the requirements of Indicator
13: “Percent of youth with IEPs aged 16 and above with an IEP that includes appropriate
measurable postsecondary goals that are annually updated and based upon an age appropriate
transition assessment, transition services, including courses of study, that will
reasonably enable the student to meet those postsecondary goals, and annual IEP
goals related to the student’s transition services needs. There also must be evidence
that the student was invited to the IEP Team meeting where transition services are
to be discussed and evidence that, if appropriate, a representative of any participating
agency was invited to the IEP Team meeting with the prior consent of the parent
or student who has reached the age of majority.” [20 U. S. C. 1416 (a)(3)(B)]. The
nonexamples are intended to illustrate components of the IEP that do not meet the
minimum requirements of this Indicator.
Background: The document
has been developed primarily by NSTTAC staff and is based on the requirements of
IDEA 2004 and its 2006 regulations, as well as knowledge of accepted best practice.
The document reflects questions and input on Indicator 13 from practitioners and
other TA providers in the area of secondary transition, including members of NSTTAC’s
expert panels and advisory board, as well as state and local secondary transition
service providers through informal feedback (e.g., after presentations on Indicator
13).
This document was originally approved by
the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) on
August 13, 2007 and the current training materials were posted as a draft in October,
2009.
