Hi! I’m in our first team meeting and two of my group members were unable to login/create accounts within our district’s team page. One is a new user who got the spinning wheel (over and over) upon trying to create her account. The other somehow had her account, but it wasn’t linked to our team page. They both are not showing up on my member list, so I didn’t complete the attendance because they don’t show up on my list. Any advice would be great, thanks!
Make sure your team members are using the special link Debbie emailed to you. Using that link will “connect” them to your team within the Facilitator Community. They need to use this link only one time to get them connected. Refer back to the email Debbie sent you for those directions.
As far as the spinning wheel for the other team member, please have them use a different browser to see if that helps. If it doesn’t, please email me at [email protected] and we can troubleshoot from there.
Thank you so much. I will have them give this a try and get back to you if it doesn’t work.

Hi all!
I am Katie Trier, an administrator with TrueNorth Educational Cooperative 804 in Highland Park, Illinois. I support our Transition Program and Vocational Department. This is my third year as an administrator. Prior to this role, I was a special education teacher working with students with significant support needs for 12 years (maybe 13??? who knows anymore…). I’ve worked with students of all ages from early childhood through Transition. I love this work and it has truly shaped who I am as a person and a mother. I have a 4.5 year old sassy daughter and a 5 month old drooly son. They keep me busy! I also love to bake and sing, but don’t have as much time for those with the little ones (I sing a lot more Baby Shark and Wheels on the Bus than I ever wanted to!).
Staff members in our district participated in this self-study a handful of years ago and feedback was incredibly positive. Staff felt like they learned a lot about transition services and were able to make important changes to our practices in the district. We are really excited to be participating again with new, energized staff! Thank you for this opportunity!
Hello everyone,
My name is Kelly Dalton, and I’m thrilled to be part of this group! I reside in Beckley, WV, and this is my first year as a Transition Coordinator. I work with a virtual charter school that is now in its third year of operation, and we are excited to have our first graduating class this year.
Before this role, I spent 21 years as an in-person teacher for students with disabilities in our high school’s low incidence population. One of my favorite parts of the transition process is discovering what works for our students and witnessing that spark of interest and realization in them—that they can achieve more than they initially thought possible and that options truly exist!
I am eager to begin this self-study, as our school is focused on identifying and implementing best practices related to post-secondary transition. We have faced several challenges, particularly concerning parent and student participation and community collaboration. I look forward to sharing insights and learning from all of you as we navigate this journey together!
Let’s do this!
Hi, I’m Kayla, and I live in Nebraska. I currently work as a Transition Specialist through the Educational Service Unit. Prior to this, I was a special education teacher for 12 years. What I’ve found most exciting about my transition into this role is being able to support other teachers in an area that I am very passionate about. I have enjoyed learning how different school districts work and seeing what systems they have in place. I’m looking forward to continuing to grow and contribute in this new chapter!
Welcome– TCSS Facilitators,
I am so excited to be working with you during the next several weeks.
I am a retired special educator. For over 36 years, I worked in various positions to support students with special needs: as a classroom teacher, special education department chair and a transition coordinator.
I now have the pleasure of supporting practitioners in the field of special education. I look forward to getting to know you as I support you through this Self-Study.
In my spare time, I hang out with my grandchildren and love to sing in the Community Gospel Choir of St. Louis.
