Oklahoma Transition InstituteTeam Goals Tool

Use this tool to document your team’s transition goals for the coming year. Some goals have a more rapid implementation than others, so this may be a short term, or a long term plan of action. The action steps are the primary steps that need to be taken in order to achieve the desired goal. It is desired that a Transition Team have two to three goals for a program year, however in some cases it is a big task to get even one new program, or change in place for a school site. To use this tool simplyLeft Click with your mouse to the right of the colon and type in the desired information.

Please report your team’s progress to the Oklahoma Transition Council by emailing this document to in January, and May of the coming year.
