The Wisconsin Statewide Transition Initiative (WSTI) is designed to improve the results for students with disabilities as they transition from high school to post high school.

• Project coordinators assist local school
  districts by training staff and parents on
  the IDEA transition requirements and best
  practices in transition.
• Local school districts volunteer to
  participate in the WSTI project. An IEP
  review is conducted to gather baseline
  information about transition services
  in the district and set goals for
  improvement.
• The coordinator then provides staff
  development to teachers and parents in
  the area of transition.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Wisconsin Statewide Transition Initiative (WSTI) is to improve the results for students with disabilities by providing staff development, support services and information dissemination to directors of special education, special educators, parents, youth and community agency providers on transition requirements and best practices for students with disabilities.

A two-tiered approach involving school district transition action teams (TATs) and countywide transition advisory councils (TACs) is utilized.
