Overviews and Summaries: State Team Planning Activities. Building State Capacity to Address Critical Issues in Deaf Education: Transition from Secondary to Postsecondary Options, 2011-2016
pepnet 2
The overall goal of the Building State Capacity Summit series was to enhance successful outcomes for students leaving high school, whether it is matriculation in a postsecondary education or training program, or employment. Young adults who are deaf or hard or hearing face barriers that inhibit these successful outcomes. One way to mitigate these barriers is by effecting positive change in the way services are provided. The Summit offered information geared toward changing practice, and assisted state teams in creating change within their states. These changes might be reflected in service delivery, policy development and implementation, or methods for cross-system collaboration and coordination of efforts. At the conclusion of the Summit series, pepnet 2 expected each state team to report/demonstrate one clearly-identified (tangible) change practice that occurred within their state, institution, or stakeholder group as a result of participating in the Summit series. The information included in this document provides a snapshot of each team's goals and plans, as well as some initial reports of progress made toward achieving their goal. At the end of the Summit series, each team developed a "next steps" plan that could be used to continue their work toward their goals. As described in the Retrospective, it is pepnet 2's sincere hope that the Summit experience provided state teams not only with an opportunity to address transition issues, but also provided a strong foundation for continued growth and improvement. The partnerships that were forged during the Summit series have the potential to have an impact far beyond this initiative.
