Transition-focused education is one strategy that has been suggested to help improve post-school outcomes for students with disabilities. This chapter is designed to provide school leaders with information on related educational policy, evidence-based practices and predictors for secondary transition, and strategies for their use at classroom and school levels. In conclusion the authors discuss implications and recommendations for leaders in secondary transition about ongoing program evaluation, college-ready programs for students with disabilities, school reform, and improving school completion rates.
