Conceptualizing Transition Assessment These toolkits provide an overview and then step by step guidance and resources on the specific topic. you'll find resources on content such as competitive integrated employment, or interagency agreements; as well as strategies for evaluating your work, or hosting a transition fair. The focus of this article is to describe the process used in conceptualizing and developing the secondary transition fidelity assessment (stfa) and to share recommendations on how the stfa can be used in research, policy, and practice to improve secondary programs and practices.
Assessment Vcu Center On Transition Innovations In this article, we describe the conceptualization and development of the secondary transition fidelity assessment (stfa), a measure intended for use by high school leadership teams to examine secondary programs and practices demonstrated by research to lead to meaningful outcomes for secondary students with and without disabilities. To best understand what is and how to conduct an age appropriate transition assessment, two topics need to be discussed. the first topical area focuses on introducing an understandable model for organizing all the major facets that are part of an appropriate transition assessment process. What is transition assessment? “transition assessment is an ongoing process of collecting information on the student’s strengths, needs, preferences, and interests as they relate to the demands of current and future living, learning, and working environments. this process begins at age 14 or earlier and will continue. Various types and approaches for assessment, relate assessment to the transition process, and provide opportunities for applying these research based ideas are provided. from assessment to practice: a model. incorporate effective practices in the transition planning process.

The results of transition assessments should be used in making recommendations for instructional strategies, accommodations in instruction, and environments to meet the student’s strengths and needs. • define transit ion assessment, including a description of the foundational elements of transition assessment (e.g. self determination and person centered planning) and the assessment process. • identify and describe the roles of various stakeholders involved in assessment. In this paper, we describe the conceptualization and development of the secondary transition fidelity assessment (stfa), a measure intended for use by high school leadership teams to examine secondary programs and practices demonstrated by research to lead to meaningful outcomes for secondary students with and without disabilities. What it is: this toolkit provides an overview of (a) what is a transition assessment, (b) why we conduct transition assessments, (c) how to select instruments and methods, and (d) how to conduct an age appropriate transition assessment.
