Backward Planning Tools for Transition (Employment First)
Resource Details
Planning for the transition from school to the adult world requires a multi-year plan that bridges the transition from school-based to adult services. The Backwards Planning process provides a single plan, managed by a multi-agency team, designed to guide a young person through high school and into the first years of adulthood as they assume adult roles as an employee, a life-long learner and a community member.
Backwards Planning is just want the name implies: focus first on the adult outcomes for the youth’s future, then ‘plan back’ from there to the present in order to define a logical sequence of actions providing the youth with the instruction and experiences to achieve the outcomes.
