A Research-Driven Program

Next™ curriculum is based on a variety of sources:

• SCANS skills (Secretary's Committee on Achieving Needed Skills)
• CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System)
• Work Keys (a nationwide workforce development system)
• World Health Organization
• Conference Board of Canada

Developed with transition teacher/director input:

Transition teachers, work coordinators, and special education directors collaborated to develop a pragmatic system that allows staff to customize each program to a student's individual needs, your specific state standards, and your district's special education agenda.

Transition skills focus on a wide range of transition needs:

• Workplace skills and attitudes
• Responsibility
• Interacting with others
• Basic academic skills
• Habits of wellness
• Planning for success
• Computer and internet skills
• Communication skills
