Transition from School to Life: 16 Classes. A Complete University Course for Special Educators.
Martin, James E.; Kohler, Paula D.
This document presents all necessary materials for a complete course at the university level on the transition of students with disabilities from school to adult life. It includes an instructor's guide, a class syllabus, and 16 class lessons. The course is based on the "Taxonomy for Transition Programming," a model of effective transition practices developed through a review of transition-related research and exemplary transition programs. Early class lessons provide an overview of research findings about the postschool outcomes of students with disabilities, and introduce the "Taxonomy" as a model for planning, implementing, and evaluating transition-focused education. Subsequent class lessons focus on content directly related to the model's five practice categories: (1) student-focused planning, (2) student development, (3) interagency collaboration, (4) family involvement, and (5) program structures. Each lesson features readings, discussion, and activities related to the specific practice category. Self-determination for students is stressed throughout the curriculum. Overhead and handout masters are also included. (Individual sections contain references.) (DB)
