Would the transition documentation system that was shown be similar to the Transition Gradebook that is on the NTACT website?
Jordan,
The documentation opportunities in the Transition Gradebook are much more extensive and aren’t embedded in the IEP the way the Pre-ETS documentation system is in Lyon County. The Pre-ETS documentation system from Lyon County is directly embedded in the IEP software system that the teachers use to write their IEPs. We did not want the Pre-ETS documentation to be part of an external process, we wanted to make it a part of a process our teachers were already responsible for, as this ensures that they begin to document these services. Teachers in Lyon County are unable to finalize an IEP for a student without documentation that some form of Pre-ETS has been delivered to a student. This begins the year that transition planning is required within the IEP.

I like the idea of the crosswalk of CTAE Curriculum and Pre-ets skills. Also, the grants would be great to provide more support to students with disabilities. Especially as teachers are struggling to instruct all students in the increasingly diverse lab setting.
Lyon County School District is on spring break April 1 – 5, so I expect to hear back from the Director of Special Services regarding the grant information next week.
Hey All! I just posted the Pre-ETS Curriculum Crosswalk as well as an example Crosswalk from the culinary program that David Palmer talked about during the Ask the Expert. Be sure to send the link to colleagues who would be interested!
Ask C.J. any questions about this you might have or share how it might work for your program.
“We use the State competitive CTE grant to fund the paraprofessionals at three of our high schools. I use IDEA funds for 1 para at another high school.
Here is the sample language for Silver Stage High School: The program paraprofessional will work in coordination and collaboration with the district’s Transition Coordinator for special education to help coordinate services for students with disabilities in CTE classrooms at Silver Stage High School. With a paraprofessional to assist in the CTE classrooms, there will be more coverage for students with all abilities levels in multiple CTE courses. The collaborative efforts of this position and the transition coordinator will include providing professional development to staff relative to the essential evidence-based practices that provide a strong foundation for students to join the work-force upon completion.”
This information is from the Special Services Director at Lyon County School District, NV in regards to the grant funds they use. Let us know if you all have any more questions about this!
