What Every Teacher Should Know About: Transition and IDEA 2004 - Softcover

This brief book advances a new vision of transition as a unifying framework for post-secondary planning for youth. Using side-by-side frameworks, it explains the connections between transition services and standards-based education, as well as the connections between IDEA 2004 and the No Child Left Behind Act. The book provides an introduction to the new Summary of Performance (SOP) that is required by every school district for all youth with disabilities who have IEPs, and presents a first of its kind template for a nationally ratified SOP available to state and local educational agencies.
