•The <strong>IEP</strong> should provide the “specifics” <strong>of</strong> instruction needed <strong>to</strong> accomplish<br />
the transition activities and ultimately the postsecondary goals.<br />
•<strong>IEP</strong> goals related <strong>to</strong> postsecondary goals should be linked <strong>to</strong> the Standard<br />
Course <strong>of</strong> Study (including the Occupational Course <strong>of</strong> Study).<br />
•The <strong>IEP</strong> team should ensure that there are <strong>IEP</strong> goals that support each <strong>of</strong><br />
the postsecondary goals.<br />
