I will learn PSE by carving a lot more time to support my Intellectual Disabled students.

I will benefit from collaborating with my colleagues who have been through the transition program in previous years and who understand and know the population that I am working with. We meet to discuss students progress sometimes but the meetings are not consistent. I would like to make it a practice to meet with them monthly so that we can discuss PSE/transition work for this population (ID).

Boston Public Schools recently posted professional development for transition work around PSE on its website and I plan to enroll in those workshops.

-What efforts are middle school educators making to assist students with disabilities to identify and prepare for postsecondary education? I would love to have a round table discussion with my peers in the district so that that I can be more informed about the types of students that are coming up at the high school level.

-I would like to know what percentage of students with Intellectual Disabilities are given access to postsecondary education in the State of Massachusetts. How can we give more chances for ID students to be exposed to adult learning while they are still attending high school?

-I would love to focus on internships and vocational trainings. A lot of Special Needs (SAR) students focus on this path therefore I need to do more collaborations with agencies that are designed to work with ID students.

AIR Self-Determination (AIR-American Institutes for Research) as well as the “R U Ready”? assessments are common for me use with students. The assessments are useful in that they help my students with the importance of self-determination, postsecondary planning and school interventions to support the development of self-determination.

5-Bold Steps- I have used this tool to help my students see things especially around planning and the supports around (home, school and community supports). A great tool to use to help  students focus on self-determination, post secondary education and employment skills.

Naviance-Career Interest Survey-Helps students generate occupation interest, career list, career paths and college list that relate to their occupation. The Naviance system is helpful because it stores students results in a database and students, families and teachers can access the results year after year.
