Rubrics for Transition I: for Higher-Functioning Students

The manual contains rubrics that define 65 research-based transition skills for higher-functioning students in the areas of Workplace Skills and Attitudes, Responsibility, Interacting with Others, Computer and Internet Skills, Basic Academic Skills, Habits of Wellness, and Planning for Success.

Each rubric in the manual defines a transition skill in detail. The rubrics provide clear and consistent criteria for . . .

• communicating expectations
• writing goals and objectives
• defining what is taught and evaluated
• collecting meaningful data
• reporting results

The manual also comes with a transition needs assessment survey, which contains a listing of all 65 transition skills for higher-functioning students on a single page.  The skills are formatted in a manner that assists IEP teams in discussing a student’s transition strengths and needs and identifying a reasonable number of important transition priorities to be met.

Finally, the manual contains a multiple-year progress report form. This two-page report contains a listing all 65 transition skills for higher-functioning students, along with columns for tracking transition information such as:

• in which grade(s) did the team focus on specific transition skills
• for which postsecondary goal(s) did the skill improvement apply
• how was skill improvement managed (IEP goal, transition service, or through a course)
• what was the progress of skills which were managed as IEP goals

The progress report can be used as the basis of a multi-year transition portfolio.  The team can use the portfolio to track the student’s progress over multiple years.  The student can use the portfolio to store important transition material and information.
