What do postsecondary goals describe, and what are transition services?

The concept here is how planning for life after high school is described and supported. Postsecondary goals are the student’s intended outcomes after graduation in three areas: future education or training, employment, and independent living. Transition services are the coordinated supports and activities designed to help the student reach those goals, tailored to the student’s strengths, needs, and preferences, and often including instruction, experiences, and connections to community resources. Other descriptions miss important pieces: focusing only on current grades or tutoring ignores long‑term outcomes; mentioning only employment or only education omits one of the key areas; and citing transportation alone doesn’t capture the coordinated set of supports.
