Transition Planning 2025-2026

The Transition Improvement Grant (TIG) will offer two professional development online courses focused on transition planning. It is recommended that participants new to transition planning begin with the Introduction to the Postsecondary Transition Plan (PTP) course, as it provides a comprehensive overview of the PTP.

The Introduction to Postsecondary Transition Plan is a Self-Paced Micro Course. This means it is short, focused courses targeting specific skills or knowledge areas, perfect for professionals looking for quick, actionable insights they can apply immediately. These courses provide flexibility for learners who want to enhance their expertise in targeted areas without the time commitment of a full-length course.

A NEW series of Self-Paced Micro-Courses, Planning with Purpose for Postsecondary Success, is currently being developed. These short, focused learning modules will each explore a key area of transition planning, allowing participants to build knowledge and skills at their own pace. Together, the micro-courses will provide a comprehensive look at effective practices that support students’ postsecondary success and professional growth.
