This issue of the quarterly publication focuses on Achieving Secondary Education and Transition Results for Students with Disabilities. Editorial introduction notes that today's educational systems are being called upon to re-examine how they prepare students with disabilities for adult life. The shift toward greater participation by students with disabilities in the general education curriculum is requiring exploration of new strategies for attending to the needs of diverse learners in the same classroom. Standards-based education is pushing schools to figure out how to meaningfully include students with disabilities in assessment and accountability systems. The need for early involvement by and continuity between school-based services and community services for individuals with disabilities is moving districts and schools to engage in integrated service planning and to link systems that may not have collaborated in the past. Increased involvement of families and students in individual planning, as well as in shaping educational policy and practice, continues to shift the locus of decision-making about education Articles include: (1) Assumptions in Transition Planning: Are They Culturally Sensitive?
