Everyday science: safety labels
By the annual IEP review date, given 10 real product labels or photos of labels with hazard pictograms and signal words, the student will name what each hazard symbol means and one safe-handling step the label gives independently with 100% accuracy on label hazard items, on 3 of 4 consecutive weekly probes, as measured by opportunity-by-opportunity data collected weekly.
Access to science and social studies content, lab and map skills, and safe, effective use of digital tools. This goal bank for transition coordinators covers career exploration, job seeking, postsecondary education, independent living, personal finance, community access, and self-determination. Annual goals are written to build toward the student's measurable postsecondary goals.

Frequently asked questions
When does transition planning have to start?
Under 34 CFR 300.320(b), transition content begins with the first IEP in effect when the student turns 16, or younger if the team decides. Many states start earlier, so check your state's rule.
How do annual goals connect to postsecondary goals?
Each annual goal should be a step toward a postsecondary goal for education or training, employment, or independent living. For example, a goal for completing job applications supports an employment postsecondary goal.
What transition assessments should I use?
Age-appropriate transition assessments can include interest inventories, interviews with the student and family, work-site observations, and independent living checklists. Use more than one source and update them each year.
