The recent meeting held by the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) focused on enhancing support for postsecondary transition coordinators and specialists. The session emphasized the importance of transition planning services, drawing from Mary Morningstar's book, "Your Complete Guide to Transition Planning Services."

During the meeting, Deanna Taylor, one of the postsecondary transition specialists, outlined the plan to structure the year's content around selected chapters from Morningstar's book. Participants will receive these chapters in advance to facilitate informed discussions during the sessions.

Taylor, along with fellow specialists Lavinia Grepotog and Crystal Emery, introduced themselves and encouraged attendees to sign in via a provided link to ensure they receive their Midas credit for participation. The meeting aimed to foster collaboration and provide valuable resources for those involved in transition planning for students with special needs.

Overall, the session marked a proactive step towards improving transition services in Utah, highlighting the commitment of the USBE to support educators and specialists in their roles. Further sessions will continue to build on this theme, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of transition planning across the state.
