Transition Portfolio
PURPOSE:
The Transition Portfoliois a tool that provides:
- A guide for the IEP team
- A record of student activities and growth over the transition years
- A storage system for relevant information
The Portfoliois designed to ensure that necessary information is in place for students to transition seamlessly from the school to the adult world. It provides a picture of the progression of the students from year to year; assisting educators in supporting the coordinated set of activities necessary for an effective transition plan.
The portfolio is aligned with state and federal requirements of Indicator 13 and the domains of Post-Secondary Education, Employment, and Independent Living. It supports the Standard Aligned System.
At the time of graduation or when the student exits the NHS School’s, the portfolio serves as a student resource, documenting their academic and career preparation through the transition years of school and providing evidence and information vital to next steps in the adult world and the Summary of Performance.
Transition at a Glanceprovides a picture of the transition steps already taken. This page is a quick reference of the activities that the student has completed. It is designed to not only record the activities completed but also to guide the educator in planning future activities that will assist the student in reaching their post secondary goals.
Artifactsprovide evidence of specific activities or information that have occurred during the transition years. The Artifact Sections provides a list of sample work that may be included in the portfolio but is in no way limited to the items on the list. Evidence can include but are not limited to documents, pictures, videos, CDs, evaluations, and tests. Individuality and creativity are encouraged to reflect the individual student.
