Welcome to ODE's Secondary Transition Resources. This site provides essential tools, guidance, and resources to support effective secondary transition planning for students experiencing disabilities. It organizes critical information about Secondary Transition Requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Oregon Revised Statutes, and Oregon Administrative Rules into practical, easy-to-access formats. Designed with busy educators in mind, these resources help you create high-quality transition individualized education programs (IEPs) that will help meaningfully prepare students for life after high school while complying with legal requirements.
These resources are designed to help you:
- Create transition IEPs focused on supporting students to achieve their measurable post-secondary goals, increase post-school outcomes, and comply with requirements.
- Develop meaningful, measurable postsecondary goals based on age-appropriate transition assessments.
- Connect students with appropriate transition services and supports.
- Prepare students to successfully transition to adult life.
