Register for: 3/13/25 The Vermont Graduation Readiness Tool

March 13 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Free on Zoom

Register here for “The Vermont Graduation Readiness Tool” workshop.

This workshop will be online using the Zoom meeting platform.  If you are unable to attend the live presentation, you can still register and we’ll send you a link to the recording of the workshop which you can watch on your own time. We appreciate when you register as that data can support our grant reporting.

This workshop will cover the concept of the graduation readiness tool and how IEP teams, which include parents/guardians should use it. The timing of graduation for students with disabilities can be hard to determine especially for students with complex and intensive needs. This tool helps the IEP team better “see” when graduation should happen because for students on IEPs graduation is not just about meeting the graduation requirements, it is also about reasonable and appropriate access to transition services. This tool helps teams make sure students are ready to graduate. This workshop will go over the new and improved second edition of this tool which has been just released this year.

Presenter:
– John Spinney, Postsecondary Transition Coordinator at the VT Agency of Education. John is in his 20th year at the VT AOE where he works to support systems that promote good transitions to post school life for students with disabilities statewide. John’s two youngest brothers were adopted as infants and both have Down Syndrome. John’s grew up being immersed in the disability world and is now the legal guardian for his two brothers who are in their 40s now.
