1 Transition 2 Life Student Presentation © Kiducation Productions 2010

2 Graduation is around the corner. Soon, you’ll be pushed from this nest and be asked to fly into adulthood. Are you ready?

3 Do you know how to budget?

4 Do you know what it takes to get into the school of your choice, or get a cool job?

5 Do you know the rules of grown-up life?

6 Well, then, step right up— Transition 2 Life is the program for you. Transition 2 Life is not another academic class: you won’t learn Algebra or World History here.

7 What you will learn is how to do the things you need to do as an adult. Like, get your driver’s license, open a checking account or how to not act like a fool in front of your boss. So, let’s look at the program.

8 Transition 2 Life (or T2L) has seven modules. Your teacher may choose to give you all modules this year, or spread it over the next several years. However you do it, in the end, you’ll have a resource book to take with you. That book will contain a map to navigate adult life. Teenage Life Adulthood

9 Lucky You! The great thing about T2L is that (mostly) there are no wrong answers. This is about you. You are deciding who you want to be, if you want to continue in school, and how you want to live. The grading system doesn’t grade the answer—it grades the process. Find out what kind of learner you are—get points. Explore what you’d like to be when you grow up—get points. Practice writing a check—get points. It’s that easy. Take a look.

10 Unit One: Who Am I? In this unit, you’ll explore your goals for adult life and how to attain them.  Can you read your IEP?  What kind of learner are you?  Can you take care of yourself?  What do you want to do next in life?  Can you advocate for yourself?

11 Unit Two: Transportation In this unit, you’ll learn how to get around.  Do you know how towns are organized?  Can you ride the bus or train?  How do you study for your driver’s license?  Can you get from here to there on time?

12 Unit Three: Education In this unit you’ll explore career options and learn what you need to do to get the career of your choice. You’ll fill out mock college applications and learn how to make a college schedule. You’ll also look at the support systems available to disabled students..  Take a career aptitude assessment  Fill out a college application  Find scholarships  Plan a dream schedule

13 Unit Four: Finances In this unit, you’ll learn all the financial skills it takes to move out on your own and keep track of your money. How to write a check and use an ATM card How to make a budget The real cost of credit cards What happens when you save while you ’ re young What it takes to move out on your own How to file your taxes

14 Unit Five: Communication Adult communication is different from teen communication. The more you can communicate like an adult, the faster you will succeed. This unit will teach you how to take the fast track to success.  Rules for behavior in business  How to leave a phone message  How to write a business letter/ resume  Practice interview questions  Mock Interview

15 Unit Six: Employment So, how exactly, do you go about getting a job? This unit will help you organize your search and show you the steps needed to land that job.  What goes on an application  How to fill out a job application  How to create a plan  How to follow-up  Job shadow questions

16 Unit Seven: Resources Where do you look when you’re out of school and need help? This section has resources you need to either figure out the answer yourself or direct you where to find help.  How is support for my disability different after high school?  When can the cops break up my party?  Where do I go for food stamps if I lose my job?  What laws protect me as a disabled person?  What support groups are there for people with my condition?

17 In the End You’ll walk away with a notebook that will guide you as you start your flight into grown-up life. Depending on your situation, your teacher may decide to have you complete the program quickly, or spread it out over several years. You may also want to do one unit a couple of times in different years as your hopes for the future change.

18 Keep each unit safe so it can be added to your notebook. Unlike some classes, where you can’t throw the work away fast enough, you’ll NEED this stuff. So keep it. And remember: garbage in—garbage out. This is your chance to really explore what you want to do for the rest of your life. Use the chance to form a plan that works for you. And then, with a plan in hand, we wish you a great flight into adulthood.
