All special educators who teach secondary students will be required to create transition plans that are meaningful and appropriate for the student. Transition plans go one step further than the IEP by adding specific goals and services that will help the student be successful after graduation in future education and training, in the community, and/or in the work force. Being able to write an effective transition plan is a legal requirement for high school special education teachers.
Create a 10-15 slide digital presentation for school faculty and staff that explains the components and legal requirements of transition planning under IDEA.
Address the following within your presentation:
Describe each of the required components of a transition plan according to IDEA.
Complete a transition plan for Alex using the data provided in the “Case Scenario: Alex,” sharing each transition plan component as an example.
Describe 2-3 strategies that promote successful transitions for students with disabilities.
Identify 2-3 collaboration strategies that are useful when working with students, families, and IEP teams to create transition plans for students with disabilities.
Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter notes.
The digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.
Support your findings with 3-5 scholarly resources.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

A special education teacher in a resource setting has a very difficult job, meeting the needs of a variety of students and covering a multitude of subject matters in a single class period. Being able to properly structure your class and effectively manage class time will help you meet the needs of all students and not become overwhelmed. Adding a number of strategies and accommodations to your teaching repertoire will also increase your efficacy in the classroom.
For this assignment, take on the role of a first-year special education teacher who has been assigned to the resource room to work with students who are working at the ninth grade level for both English and math. You have about 10 students during this class period and an aide to assist you. Students meet with you for 50 minutes each day to get help with homework, finish their classwork, study for tests, and get extra support in each subject area. You will need to structure the class so that student needs in both subject areas will have time to be addressed.
Use the “Class Profile” to obtain specific information about the needs of your students.
Part 1: Teacher Inquiries
In 250-500 words compose a response for the following:
Questions you would have about your teaching assignment before it begins, including any requests for additional information.
Questions you would have for fellow teachers and administration.
Information you would like to have before the end of the first week of school.
Provide a rationale for each inquiry. Cite both the “Class Profile” and an additional minimum of two outside scholarly resources in your responses.
Part 2: Classroom Environment
In 500-750 words compose a response for the following:
Provide a minimum of three possible ways to structure the classroom setting.
Provide a minimum of two possible ways to structure a class period.
Provide a minimum of three instructional strategies, to include accommodations and/or assistive technology, to meet the curricular content needs of your students in both the English language arts and math classes.
Provide two collaboration strategies to use when working with the classroom aide assisting you in meeting the needs of the students in the resource room setting.

This assignment is a personal reflection based on your own school experiences. Reflect on an instance in school (early, elementary, high school, college, etc…) where you felt powerful. Describe the situation and the nature of the interactions it involved. Who and what made you feel this way? To contrast, think of a situation in school where you felt powerless and describe in the same detail. Now, think about these experiences of feeing both powerful and powerless, and how they may relate to your work as a teacher. How do such experiences connect to your responsibility as a teacher to ensure that each student has a voice, a way to be “visible” in your classroom that may not be easily identifiable? Consider aspects of education that you value, appreciate, want to emulate, or avoid.
Be sure to use APA format and proper writing skills, as this preliminary assignment is used to assess your writing skills, as well as understand your personal approach to education. 3-4 pages in APA format.
