We hope this resource provides you answers to your immediate and pressing questions. This document is updated regularly.\nWhich portfolio platform is appropriate for the Certificate of Completion course of study?\nThe Office of Special Education supports use of the following platforms:\nGoogle Sites provides a pre-developed template with additional space for students who need to include a lot of external documents, photos, or videos as artifacts.\nGoogle Slides using \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wPzW-9BQiQzvwHLPUpbhnXfL_HMAup1L\" \u0014this link to access the template.\n\u0015Microsoft power point\nMust all students receiving special education services have a portfolio which includes all four component sections (Student Information, Student Learning Characteristics, Academic Skills, Employability Skills)?\nWhile transition portfolios may be developed for any student with an IEP, it is a requirement only for those students working toward a Certificate of Completion.\nWe need to make a copy of the template for Google Sites Template, Google Slides Template, or Microsoft PowerPoint template each time, for each student? If I forget to make a copy of the transition portfolio template or the Microsoft PowerPoint template, will I be able to recover what I did/the student did already before it is deleted?\nYes, correct.  Every time you open the template, the first thing should be to make that copy, for each student. If you do not do this, then you will be making edits on the State's Template.  When someone opens/clicks that link - they will see your student information and changes you made.  The portfolio will be deleted immediately by IDOE and you will not be able to recover any of the work you have done.  It is vital to make sure to MAKE A COPY, as the first step before doing anything.\nDoes a student portfolio need to be uploaded annually?\nThe student portfolio does not need to be uploaded annually into the IEP. Likewise, a link to the student portfolio does not need to be placed into the IEP document. An educator must, however, keep the portfolio on file at the local school level in order to demonstrate completion of the Certificate of Completion pathway.\nFile location and organization of the transition portfolios is a decision made by each local educational agency. Please seek counsel from your school administration regarding their policy and advisement in migrating the transition portfolio to your LEA’s preferred location.\nWill the student portfolio replace the Summary of Performance?\nAt this time, completion of a transition portfolio may not be used in lieu of the requirement to complete a summary of performance, per Indiana Department of Education.\nWho will be monitoring the portfolios if not going to be a document within the IEP and will teachers still have to do the SOP for those with a portfolio?\nPortfolios will be monitored as part of the general supervision for IDEA. Just like schools may be audited for showing how students demonstrate employability skills so too can their portfolios be audited. Summary of Performance is still required for ALL students with an IEP.\nWhere do teachers consolidate the graduation pathway requirements?\nThis question will be answered by individual school districts. Please seek counsel from your school administration regarding their policy and advisement in organizing graduation pathway requirements.\nCan the previous work and assessments done in Kuder from Indiana Career Connect be accessed and used?  We did all that work, and I cannot access it currently, is it lost forever or is there a way to recover it?\nThe data inputted into Kuder isn't gone forever. DWD is working with another vendor and the information from Kuder is supposed to be available once the new INCE goes live. Please contact Pam Warner with DWD with any questions about Indiana Career Explorer.
