CBI and WIP enable teachers to teach skills needed to function in the community in a natural environment. A variety of tasks must be completed by system personnel to provide appropriate transition services. New job descriptions, which replaced many traditional duties, were developed. A transition coordinator, transition teachers, transition assistants, and transition job coaches now share responsibility for the tasks.
Appropriate training is provided for each.
Opportunities for collaboration occur during individual contacts, community training activities, Community Transition Team activities, recognition programs, and IEP meetings. The scores were obtained by averaging the totals for each area. Students who received training consistently scored higher than students who did not receive training. Using this information, the WIP teachers develop an action plan to guide the program the following year. Teachers, students, principals, parents, and facilitators were surveyed about their satisfaction with the Mobile Transition Initiative program.
