Good afternoon!
 
We are pleased to share these transition-related resources with you.  
 
(1)  The Montana Office of Public Instruction web site has a number of resources for educators and parents.  When you access the site, go to the "Programs and Services of OPI" box at the upper righthand corner of your screen. Open the drop-down menu and scroll down to "Special Education." On the "Special Education" pages, you'll find PowerPoint and video training sessions, forms, examples, and other invaluable resources.

 

(2)  On the OPI site, you can access School-to-Work Work-Based Learning Legal & Labor Issues. This is a handy document summarizing work-based learning considerations in Montana.
