Transition Services

Transition services are intended to help students be ready for what's waiting for them after high school: further education, a job or career, and adult living. Those services should look different for every student. Our menu of effective secondary practices are found to improve post-school outcomes for students and help districts meet transition requirements.

Strafford Learning Center (SLC) offers districts direct services for students and families to help them describe a vision for life after high school and an individualized path to get there. Our options for professional development and staff consultation will help transition staff incorporate best practices into their work.
