Oxford School District Transition Services

Oxford School District Transition Goals for Students with Disabilities:

• Enhance Individual Achievement
• Encourage Self-advocacy
• Build Community Partnerships
• Increase Post-secondary Outcomes
• Promote Independent Living
• Boost Post-secondary Competitive Employment

Transition is a coordinated set of activities that are planned and organized based on the student’s preferences and interests, which promote the movement of a student from school to post-secondary adult living. Successful transition requires a collaborative effort among various agencies, the school, student, and parents.

As Transition Assistant, Ms. Green assists students with a variety of activities, including career exploration, course planning, post-school paperwork, registration and preparation for the American College Test, obtaining photo identification, and job training. Additionally, Ms. Green serves as an advocate and liaison between the student and the community, including local businesses and Vocational Rehabilitation Services.
