This document provides instructions for an assignment to create an informational brochure or handout for a hypothetical transition meeting. The brochure is intended to educate other transition team members, such as general educators or parents, about the transition process from the perspective of your role, such as a special educator. It should include a definition of special education transition services, the role of the chosen team member, the steps in the transition process and how the role contributes, and questions that may be asked of the role along with possible answers. Sources must be cited and APA formatting and mechanics guidelines must be followed. The goal is to demonstrate an understanding of collaborative transition team roles and the transition planning process.

In this assignment you will demonstrate your
understanding of the following learning
objective:
Justify the collaborative role of transition
team members who actively participate in
transition meetings and examine the steps

2. required in a transition-planning meeting.
The assignment represents your mastery of
the Course Learning Outcome 5.
In this assignment you will consider a
hypothetical transition meeting. To make this
meeting more productive, you have decided to
create an informational brochure or handout
that you would want others in the meeting to
understand. For example, as a special
educator, what would you want the general
educator to know about the transition
process, or what would you want the parents
to know?
To prepare for this assignment, view the
video below titled Be a Superstar - Take the
Survey - Student. This video interviews high
school graduates one year post-graduation to
ask “Where are You Now?” Next, reflect on
how creating a realistic and attainable
transition from high school to post-
graduation independence takes time,
planning, and a strong team of professionals
and family who all have the student’s best

3. interest at heart. The transition meeting can
include the school principal (who may have
links to community agencies), representatives
from community agencies, a school counselor
or psychologist (who was involved in
assessments and interest inventories), the
special educator, a general educator (who
may have a role in the student’s education),
the parents, and the student. In addition,
parents can invite anyone else they believe
will add value to their child’s independence
(Levinson & Palmer, 2005).
