1 TRANSITION FOR ALL: PA 339 Implications for Administrators August 2017 PA Transition Conference Hillary A. Mangis, Ph.D. Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network PaTTAN s Mission The mission of the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN) is to support the efforts and initiatives of the Bureau of Special Education, and to build the capacity of local educational agencies to serve students who receive special education services. 1
2 PDE s Commitment to Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) Our goal for each child is to ensure Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams begin with the general education setting with the use of Supplementary Aids and Services before considering a more restrictive environment. Objectives The participant will: Recognize the importance of PA Career Standards for secondary transition Identify and distinguish between legislation and policy related to secondary transition Summarize the implications of PA 339 for secondary transition related to IDEA Connect to resources to improve secondary transition planning 2
3 Agenda Overview/Review Career Education Work Standards IDEA and Transition Requirements Legislation Impacting Secondary Transition Overview of Chapter 339 Review of Implications for Special Education Resources But First: Think Pair Share How do you define a successful student? What universal skills/competencies make an employee successful? Where/how are those skills taught in your school? 3
4 Beginning with the end in mind We strive to ensure that each student: Is proficient in core subjects Graduates from high school, ready for post-secondary education & career Achieves equitable outcomes, regardless of background, condition or circumstances 7 College and Career Readiness Same and Different College Ready: A student is prepared to succeed in college level courses without remediation Career Ready: A student possesses key academic skills needed to qualify for and succeed in the post-secondary job and/or education necessary for his/her chosen career, along with employability skills (SCANS) and technical, job specific skills (Career Clusters). 8 4
5 Did You Know. About 40% of students entering college must take at least one remedial course before enrolling in credit-bearing coursework, and rates are much higher for students of color. (USDOE, 2011) In 2011, 25% OF students who took the ACT test met the benchmark scores in all four subjects: English, mathematics, reading, and science (ACT, 2011) 9 Did you know. 63% of all jobs in the United States and 90 percent of new jobs in growing industries with high wages will require some form of postsecondary education (Alliance for Excellent Education, 2009; Carnevale, Smith, & Strohl, 2010; U.S. Department of Labor, 2008). By 2018, the nation will need to increase the number of postsecondary degrees conferred by about 10% annually in order to meet workforce demands (A. Carnevale, N. Smith, and J. Strohl, 2010). 5

9 IDEA Transition for Students with Disabilities Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network Individuals with Disabilities Education Act IDEA 2004 Primary Purpose To ensure that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living H.R.1350 (IDEA 2004) 18 9
