SECONDARY TRANSITION INFO: Course of Study Planning Worksheet is Now Available!

The ADE/ESS Secondary Transition Team is pleased to announce the release of the Secondary Transition Course of Study (CoS) Planning Worksheet. This worksheet was developed to support IEP teams in creating meaningful, intentional, multi-year Course of Study plans that align with Arizona graduation requirements, the student's measurable postsecondary goals, and identified IEP needs.

The CoS Planning Worksheet is a technical assistance resource designed for use prior to or during IEP meetings where secondary transition planning is discussed. It assists teams in documenting and reviewing the alignment between a student's measurable postsecondary goals, course selections, community-based experiences, graduation planning, and individualized needs. This resource is intended to support planning and compliance efforts; however, each student's Course of Study should be developed based on their unique strengths, preferences, interests, needs, and postsecondary goals.

Please view and download this worksheet on the ADE/ESS Secondary Transition webpage, under “Trending Topics.” We hope that this resource assists PEAs in strengthening secondary transition planning and ensuring that students have a coordinated pathway toward postsecondary education, employment, and independent living outcomes.
