Secondary Transition Community of Practice
The D.C. Secondary Transition Community of Practice supports D.C. youth with disabilities as they transition into a self-directed life. We are a citywide, cross section of stakeholders who come together to strengthen our individual and collective ability for action. This community of practice is led by SchoolTalk’s InclusiveDC and funded by the D.C. Office of the State Superintendent of Education.
School Year 2023-24 Schedule
The Secondary Transition Community of Practice convenes regular monthly meetings, as well as small group solution-oriented opportunities on specific transition-related topics. Most activities occur via Zoom or in a hybrid format. Come back soon for updates on the 2023-24 schedule!
