The Transition Improvement Grant (TIG) offers 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. This foundational knowledge will prepare participants for the Implementing the Postsecondary Transition Plan course, where they will learn practical strategies for applying the PTP to support successful student outcomes. Taking the courses in this order ensures a clearer and more effective learning experience.
