Position Type: Unit A

Position Overview

The Vocational & Transition Specialist is a specialized special education role responsible for ensuring high-quality, student-centered transition planning and vocational development for students with disabilities beginning at age 14, in alignment with IDEA transition requirements and DESE/Federal Indicator 19.

This position ensures that transition planning is measurable, individualized, instructionally meaningful, and driven by student voice, and that transition services are grounded in ongoing, age-appropriate transition assessments that inform postsecondary goals related to education/training, employment, and independent living.

Indicator 19 Framework (Role Alignment)

This position directly supports district compliance with Indicator 19, which requires that, for students aged 14 and older:

Measurable postsecondary goals are in place
Goals are based on age-appropriate transition assessments conducted by a qualified transition or vocational specialist
Transition services and courses of study are developed and aligned to postsecondary goals
Students are formally invited to IEP meetings where transition is discussed
Transition planning reflects student preferences, interests, and strengths
Students with disabilities have access to courses that support their transition planning

The Vocational & Transition Specialist ensures these elements are present in both documentation and practice.

Support IEP Teams in developing measurable postsecondary goals related to education/training, employment, and independent living (as appropriate).
Complete transition/vocational evaluations
Ensure annual IEP goals, services, and activities are clearly aligned to postsecondary goals.
Review IEPs for Indicator 19 alignment and provide coaching, guidance, and corrective feedback as needed.
Support preparation for DESE monitoring, audits, and corrective action related to transition and vocational requirements.

Student Participation & Voice

Ensure students age 14 and older are formally invited to IEP meetings where transition planning is discussed.
Promote active student participation in transition planning through:

Coach staff on strategies to authentically embed student voice and self-determination, including alternative and supported communication approaches.

- Strengths
- Postsecondary aspirations
Assist teams in interpreting transition assessment data and using results to:
- Develop measurable postsecondary goals
- Identify appropriate transition services and activities
- Align vocational experiences and instructional planning
Promote assessment practices that center student voice, including self-reflection, interviews, inventories, and supported communication methods.
Ensure transition assessment results are clearly reflected in IEP documentation and inform decision-making beyond compliance.

Transition Services & Course of Study Alignment

Support IEP Teams in identifying and coordinating transition services, including instruction, related services, community experiences, and vocational activities aligned to postsecondary goals.
Collaborate with school staff to ensure students’ courses of study support identified postsecondary outcomes.
Ensure transition services are individualized, developmentally appropriate, and connected to real-world preparation.
Teach course(s) specific to transition services for SWD (eg., for BRIDGE, CONNECTIONS, and TBL)

Vocational Development & Work-Based Learning

Coordinate and support vocational exploration and work-based learning opportunities for students with disabilities, aligned to IEP transition goals.
Ensure vocational opportunities are accessible, inclusive, and aligned with student readiness and interests.
Support documentation of vocational experiences as transition services where appropriate.

Provide consultation and professional learning related to:

- Student-centered planning
- Vocational compliance
Support consistent district-wide understanding of high-quality transition planning beyond minimum compliance.

Family & Interagency Coordination

Support families in understanding transition requirements, timelines, and postsecondary options.
Assist IEP Teams in coordinating with adult service agencies when appropriate, while maintaining student-centered planning.
Support collaboration among schools, families, and community partners.

Data, Monitoring & Continuous Improvement

Assist with data collection and review related to:
