Research Base of Targeting Transition Skills
In developing the
transition skills related to the program, Ten Sigma used information from a
variety of sources, including:
- SCANS
(Secretary’s Committee on Achieving Needed Skills)
- WRC
(Work Readiness Credential)
- Workkeys
(research-based certification of adult work skills)
- CASAS
(standardized adult work skills assessment)
- World
Health Organization (wellness and other life skills)
- Boys
Town skills (socialization and life and employability skills)
The research was
analyzed by special education practitioners who recommended which skills should
be included in each of the four program levels.
The program was
pilot-tested in a variety of settings and is constantly updated, particularly
as the expectations of Indicator 13x become clearer.
