The need for special educators who can support students with disabilities in the transition to adulthood is well documented in the literature. In this article, we will report on the program improvement efforts by one university to embed more evidence-based transition practices into their pre-service teacher preparation program with the support of a state personnel development grant. Key aspects of the program revision will be outlined and accompanied by online resources for faculty to utilize when seeking to improve their special education preparation program in the area of post-secondary transition. The pre-service teachers’ perceptions of the impact of the revision are included in the discussion; along with suggestions for future directions, research, and work in rural areas.

文献中充分记录了对特殊教育者的需求，这些教育者可以在向成年过渡的过程中为残疾学生提供支持。在本文中，我们将报告一所大学在州政府人员发展补助金的支持下，为将更多基于证据的过渡实践纳入其职前教师准备计划而进行的计划改进工作。将概述计划修订的关键方面，并提供在线资源，以供教师在寻求改进大专后过渡领域的特殊教育准备课程时使用。讨论中包括了职前教师对修订影响的看法。以及有关未来方向，研究和在农村地区工作的建议。
