In response to the accountability requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act 2004 (IDEA) Part B State Performance Plan, a focus is the development of compliant and individualized secondary transition programming for students with disabilities.

During this online course, participants will complete modules that focus on the steps in the transition planning process as they relate to the Indicator 13 requirements in the Cyclical Monitoring for Continuous Improvement (CMCI). Participants will demonstrate learning through process-specific quizzes. Successful course completion will require watching training videos, participating in online discussions, and earning minimum scores on module-based quizzes. In addition to the supports within the course, the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN) and Intermediate Unit transition consultants will provide sustained professional development to identified local educational agencies (LEAs) based on IEP pre-reviews using the Pennsylvania Indicator 13 checklist and/or identified coaching needs.
