Postsecondary Transition Plan (PTP)
What is the PTP?
The PTP is a part of the IEP which focuses on transition. A PTP is written with the IEP team, which includes the student, when a student is 13 turning 14 during the timeframe of their IEP. There are 8 components to the PTP. They include:
- Student Invite
- Age Appropriate Transition Assessment
- Measurable Postsecondary Goals
- Annual Goals
- Transition Services/Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS)
- Outside Agencies
- Course of Study
- Age of Majority
Support for academic career planning
The DPI promotes the objective of educational services for all students as preparation for College, Career and Community readiness. Academic Career Planning (ACP) is a requirement of educational services for all students in grades 6-12. The PTP and ACP compliment the transition process when used together to write measurable goals with the student.
