Program: Capital District Regional Partnership Center

Audience: CPSE/CSE chairpersons, special education administrators, building principals

Dates: 3/4/2026

Transition-focused education means that a fundamental purpose of the education students receive is to prepare them for life after high school. When we have transition-focused education, all aspects of the educational experience connect back to this goal; it is the fundamental basis of the education the student is receiving both in school and at home. Research indicates the development of self-determination skills can (should) begin early, and the development of career development skills should begin before high school. Part 100.1(l) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education defines Career and Technical Education (CTE) as a kindergarten through adult program area of study that includes rigorous academic content closely aligned with career and technical subject matter, using the State learning standards for career development and occupational studies as a framework. The purpose of this training is to provide resources and strategies that practitioners and families can use to achieve these goals.
