Transitions Vision Six-Month Work Plan: XX Month–XX Month
The purpose of this work plan is to create a path for transitions teams to assess their current transitions policies, create plans for improvement, and evaluate how the new plans are working throughout the course of the year and in the years after implementation. Effective transitions plans center around (1) alignment, coordination, and collaboration; (2) transitions planning and direct support; (3) guidance, evaluation, and resources. Planning should be a year-long, continuous process.
