Employment Training and Transition: Visitors Packet.

The Employment Training and Transition Model is presented as a comprehensive classroom model whose goal is to prepare students with severe handicaps to work, live, and recreate in their home communities while in high school and after graduation. The model is built on the assumption that high school programs should be integrated, age-appropriate, community-referenced, future-oriented, comprehensive, effective, and should involve parents. The model defines these values in a way that allows them to be measured and defines target levels of performance. Classroom procedures have been designed to support achievement of those standards. This visitors' packet contains background information about the model, followed by a high school implementation checklist, which focuses on seven areas of model implementation: student integration; development, monitoring, and updating of individualized education programs; effective instructional design and delivery; placement of students in supported employment; management of classroom tasks and resources; consumer satisfaction with classroom operation and student outcomes; and district policies that support the model. The packet also contains a sample individualized education program, a sample transition plan, definitions of job clusters, vocational training formats, answers to common questions about the Employment Training and Transition Model, and a resource list.
