Week 5 Discussion
Collaborative
Transition Teams |
Your written response to this
discussion prompt assesses your ability to (a) summarize effective methods to
communicate with all stakeholders, considering their individual interests,
priorities and cultural differences for programming of students with
disabilities and to (b) summarize the collective decision-making and planning
responsibilities for transition teams.
In this discussion, you will be
creating a database of resources that will be useful for collaborative teams
that provide transition services. Imagine that you are part of the transition
team for Kara, who is depicted in Chapter 16 of your textbook, “Snapshot:
Transition Planning for Kara:”
Kara, a student at Washington High
School, will be turning 16 next month. She lives at home and loves to be with
her friends. Her IEP indicates that she has difficulty with reading and written
communication. Kara and her mother recently participated in a team meeting that
included Kara’s special education teacher, a vocational educator, the school
principal, and a job coach. A job coach is generally an individual who
accompanies an employee to a job, learns the essential functions of the job,
and provides strategies and supports for the employee to do the job. The team
reviewed the plans for making a transition to the community after Kara finishes
high school. The priorities that the team identified were developing self-advocacy
skills, considering postsecondary educational opportunities in the community,
and completing applications for summer employment.
Based upon (Cohen &Spenciner, 2009, p. 469)
You will assume the role of one
of the following characters: general education teacher, special education
teacher, vocational educator, administrator, or job coach. Once this is
determined, you will identify one of the following categories from the Life
Centered Career Education (LCCE) transition categories: daily living skills,
personal-social skills, or occupational guidance and preparation (Brolin,
1993).
Initial Post: In your initial post, you will:
- Describe, in non-education lingo, what your chosen LCCE
category means.
- Identify three to five resources that your character
could utilize to carry out the chosen transition category. Cite and
annotate each one.
- Explain to Kara, her mother, and the rest of the
transition team why you chose the resources.
- Based on your role as a member of the transition team,
summarize how you plan to contribute to the shared decision-making and
planning responsibilities for the transition team.
For further information about the
LCCE transition services, please see the Career Education Curriculum section in
Chapter 16 of your textbook (p. 486). Additionally, read the Instructor
Guidance on Career Education Curriculum.
