Ohio ABLE
This framework was created to be aligned with the Ohio Skills Bank initiative and Stackables Certificate Program. National models of student transitions were reviewed as part of the research. The result was the development of the Ohio ABLE Transitions Framework. The framework identifies two main program components – Instructional Services for Transitions and Support Services for Transitions. The key elements for each are: 

 Instructional Services for Transitions

• Develop and deliver instructional program that facilitates student transitions
• Implement contextualized curricula
• Model selected postsecondary facets combined with ABLE instructional delivery

Support Services for Transitions

• Build awareness of postsecondary and work options
• Provide comprehensive goal setting activities
• Incorporate individual and group advising
• Provide comprehensive support services

Our goal is to build our system’s capacity to support students’ success in meeting their transitions goals.
