| This action research project examined the effectiveness of the Ten Sigma Transition System in assisting teachers with developing appropriate transition programming, measurable goals, and objectives for students with disabilities in a public junior high school located in eastern Minnesota. This research project also examined students' perceptions of the Ten Sigma Transition Survey's effectiveness in reflecting their preferences, allowing for their annual goals to reflect those same preferences and align with their student-driven postsecondary goals. The population participated through their annual Individual Education Plans as well as through a series of two surveys. The findings of the study included that the IEPs were given a higher score on the NSTTAC Checklist after implementation of the 10 Sigma Transition System and that comparison of student perceptions indicated positive gains for two students, while one student's remained the same, and one student's indicated a negative gain. |
