There is no one way to create a transition portfolio, and teams may use multiple methods to develop them for their students.  \nTransition portfolios must be completed by all students working toward earning an alternate diploma or certificate of completion. Transition portfolios may serve as a way for other students who are earning a diploma to demonstrate employability skills to satisfy Indiana’s Graduation Pathways requirements. The Indiana Department of Education’s (IDOE’s) Office of Special Education worked with a broad-based stakeholder group to identify potential portfolio options:  \n● A Google Sites template;  \n● A Google Slides template;  \n● A Microsoft PowerPoint template; and  \n● [Wix.com](Wix.com), free-to-educators platform.  \nDuring the 2022-2023 school year, the alternate diploma course requirements took effect. The alternate diploma course of study includes a portfolio component to demonstrate a student’s academic skills and employability. While the certificate of completion is now a locally awarded certificate, it is best practice to include a transition portfolio in the course of study to ensure that employability skills and characteristics are visible to future employers.  \nBased on the alternate diploma course-of-study requirements, the transition portfolio is comprised of four areas. The artifacts included in each component must be  \nstudent-specific and connect to the postsecondary goals found in their transition IEP:  \n● Student Information;  \n● Student Learning Characteristics;  \n● Academic Skills; and,  \n● Employability Skills.  \nThe four areas of the portfolio include artifacts reflecting the student’s strengths and areas of support needed. There will likely be overlapping artifacts within each section of the portfolio.  \n1 While the transition portfolio contains much of the same information that is required by 511 Indiana Administrative Code 7-43-7 (summary of performance) , the transition portfolio may not serve as, nor does it replace, the summary of performance requirements.  \nThe portfolio must be student-centered. While the components of the framework will bethe same for all students, the artifacts within the four areas must be specific to each student who is completing, or who is being assisted in completing the portfolio.  \nThe portfolio is developed over time, starting with the student’s first transition IEP, and is updated regularly throughout high school as the student achieves the transition IEP elements (e.g. , accomplishes the identified transition services) . Students should participate in the creation of their portfolios to the full extent that they are capable. Parents are also an important resource in the creation of the portfolio. A parent can offer valuable insight and help prioritize information needed to develop a strong and cohesive representation of the student across their school life and beyond. Additionally, if a student is working with a pre-ETS (Employment Transition Services) provider, it should be noted that these providers also create a resource similar to the portfolio with the student. In this case, one portfolio can be created bet","cbCaibbMSK0FrEyC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibbMSK0FrEyC","pdf",2922044,"English","# Introduction\n# Portfolio Components\n## Student Information\n## Student Learning Characteristics\n## Student-Based Analysis\n## Potential Artifacts to Support\n## Academic Skills\n## Employability Skills\n## How to Create the Student Transition Portfolio\n## Progressing through the Portfolio\n## Google Sites Template\n## Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint Templates\n## Resources and Useful Links\n# Appendix I: Student Activities Resume Sample","[{\"question\":\"Who is required to complete the transition portfolio in Indiana?\",\"answer\":\"All students working toward earning an alternate diploma or a certificate of completion must complete the transition portfolio.
