Curriculum Showcase
Greetings!
As we enter 2019, it may not be a new school year but a new year for resolutions and goals. Our goal is more collaboration! The Transition Alliance of South Carolina focuses on working together to increase post-secondary outcomes for youth with disabilities through active interagency collaboration.
The National Technical Assistance Center on Transition has produced a few resources for working with others:
Transition Resources for VR counselors: https://www.transitionta.org/sites/default/files/news/VR%20Resources%2011_21.pdf
Quick Guide for working with CTE: https://www.transitionta.org/sites/default/files/news/QG_CTE_FINAL_2018.pdf
Have you seen the new JIT (Just in Times)?
Developed by NTACT to provide guidance and timelines for the professionals serving youth with disabilities in the transition process. These documents outline the critical knowledge and skills needed by individuals entering service and administration positions focusing on transition.
Here are the things Special Educators, Transition Coordinators, and Administrators need to know:

Family Connection SC's Ask the Expert series presents:
SC High School Credential with Tabitha Strickland
How is the credential work impacting students with disabilities in South Carolina?
Within hours of South Carolina’s Public Radio airing an interview with Tabitha Strickland from the Office of Special Education Services on the South Carolina High School Credential, Dr. Wendy Balough from Lexington County School District One received an email from a local employer.
Below is an excerpt from this communication.
“I am a new Smoothie King franchisee in Lexington, and learned a little about the SC High School Credential program on SC Business Review this morning…I am interested in learning more about what the needs are for the TASC program and the possibility of partnering to provide employment opportunities…It is my goal to use the Smoothie King business to continue to provide opportunities for individuals with special needs and disabilities to be as independent and productive as possible.”
If you have not already shared the interview on your social media platforms, take a moment to help promote awareness to local employers by sharing forward. Here’s to many more doors opening!
