Transitions Complete

What It's About

Teaching life skills to students can be challenging, especially when it comes to creating a curriculum that aligns with modern-day scenarios. With the changing job market, it has become imperative for students to possess skills beyond academics.

The Stanfield Company recognizes this need and offers a solution — The Ultimate Transitions Bundle. This program is designed to help students with disabilities acquire independence and learn the practical skills necessary to succeed in the real world.

The Ultimate Transitions Bundle consists of two essential programs: the Transitions Curriculum and Making The Effort.

With the first program, students can learn a wide range of social skills that are a necessity in today’s workplace. The second program focuses on developing the right habits and mindset.

The goal is to make students understand that hard work and soft skills go hand in hand.

The program includes:

5 teachers’ guides
424 lessons
130 reproducible social skills worksheets
600 reproducible worksheets
a Social Behavior Index to help teachers assess and evaluate the progress of their students

The Ultimate Transitions Bundle is designed with a personal touch, making it relatable to students. The lessons are designed to discuss real-world problems that students may have encountered in their personal lives.

It helps students understand the significance of building social skills on a practical level. This personal approach makes the lessons meaningful and engaging. Instructors who have used the program note that students with disabilities often thrive with this curriculum, as it emphasizes skills beyond academic knowledge.

This curriculum is presented in a relaxed, child-friendly format that makes it accessible for even the youngest students.

What You'll Learn

The Ultimate Transitions Bundle is an all-encompassing program that is suitable for a wide range of students. It can be an excellent resource for special education teachers looking to teach practical life skills, or high school teachers looking to emphasize the importance of soft skills.

With the inclusion of Making The Effort, the program can be used to teach the significance of discipline, habits, and a positive mindset. With 424 lessons that range from social skills to job readiness, this program is a one-stop shop for teachers looking for a comprehensive curriculum.

Making the Effort

Making The Effort program is based on the motivational Theory of Attribution, which states that how people behave is dependent on what they attribute their behavior to. In simple terms, it means that what people believe about their actions plays a crucial role in their future decisions and outcomes.

The program emphasizes that of the three elements of success, i.e., effort, luck, and talent, effort is the only one that students can control. Making The Effort program for LD, EH, and ID secondary students teaches that working hard leads to acquiring soft skills, which, in turn, helps attain work and social goals.

Through the Making The Effort program, students learn to see that their effort is the primary cause of their success. This belief helps them take ownership of their actions and work towards their goals with commitment, perseverance, and determination. Students also learn that a lack of effort is the primary cause of failure.

The program is divided into two parts, and each part builds upon the other. Part One introduces students to the concept of attribution theory and explains its significance. It also includes interactive activities that help students develop an understanding of the relationship between effort, soft skills, and success.

Part Two of the program focuses on practical applications of Part One’s concepts. It includes interactive group activities and discussions that help students understand how to utilize the skills they have learned to achieve their goals.

The program is highly versatile and can be implemented in various settings, like a classroom, an after-school program, or a community group.

Transitions Curriculum

The Transitions curriculum covers three critical areas of competency that students need for independent living: Personal Management, Career Management, and Life Management.

The program is filled with highly motivating hands-on activities and includes:

300+ detailed lessons
600 reproducible handouts
Objectives
Relevancy statements
Student journal updates
Individual and group activities
Evaluations
Key vocabulary words
Materials
Preparation sections
Core subject crossovers
SCANS Skills references

This makes it the most extensive, flexible, and comprehensive curriculum available today.

The Transitions curriculum is designed to be used in schools-to-work programs. Currently, the curriculum is used in thousands of schools across the US and Canada, making it a proven, effective tool for student transition.

Students will feel empowered as they put these concepts into practice and start seeing positive results in their relationships.

In Conclusion

As an educator, one of our main goals is to prepare our students for the future – a future where they can transition confidently into adulthood, manage their own finances, and build a successful career.

But, as we all know, it is not an easy task. It requires consistent effort on our part to provide students with the necessary life skills to tackle the real world. The Ultimate Transitions Bundle can help you do just that.

Employers look for employees with a blend of skills and experience. The Ultimate Transitions Bundle is designed to prepare students with varying abilities to succeed in the workforce. By teaching practical skills, students can be more prepared to tackle obstacles and take on challenges. The program provides students with the ability to work in groups, communicate effectively, and think critically.

Teachers who have implemented the bundle report that students demonstrate improved self-regulation, stronger peer relationships, and greater independence in daily routines. The combination of the Transitions Curriculum and Making the Effort creates a reinforcing cycle – students learn the skills in one program and then practice the mindset needed to apply them consistently.

With 424 structured lessons and over 700 reproducible resources, you will have enough material to sustain instruction across an entire school year or longer. The built-in evaluation checklists help you document student progress for IEP updates, transition planning meetings, and summary of performance reports.

Available as part of Stanfield+ – $999/year for 60+ programs with a 30-day free trial.

The skills learned are designed to be lifelong assets, aiding students in feeling secure and connected throughout their educational journey and beyond.
