The Use of Individualized Learning Plans to Help Students to be College and Career Ready
Web-based Event
No Location Specified
Preparing for college and careers requires more than mastering academic content. College and career exploration and planning play a critical role in engaging students through creating personalized learning opportunities and preparing them for life beyond school. Individualized Learning Plans (ILP) are one tool that middle school and high school students can use to define their personal interests, goals, and course choices through postsecondary education and careers. Many states have adopted or are exploring policies that require the use of ILPs. The American Youth Policy Forum, the College and Career Readiness and Success Center at the American Institutes for Research, and the Center for Workforce Development at the Institute for Educational Leadership are co-hosting this webinar on the use of ILPs across the country. It’s Not Crazy Making: Helping Youth with Mental Health Needs Avoid Transition Cliffs
Web-based Event
No Location Specified
Youth with educational and career challenges, such as those with mental health needs, too often fall off the cliff between youth and adult systems or get sent down an inappropriate service tunnel based on considerations given by the system rather than the youth’s wants and needs. This webinar will provide information on the incidence of mental health needs in youth, and on strategies and services that might benefit youth with mental health needs. It will discuss support services needed for youth with mental health needs entering the workforce and include information on developing practical and effective policies, suggestions for creating greater collaboration among programs, and strategies for developing an improved transition and workforce development system for youth, including youth with mental health needs. The Transition to 21st-Century Disability Policy in an Era of Fiscal Austerity: A Road Map
Web-based Event
No Location Specified
The current support system for working-age people with disabilities is failing to meet the economic aspirations of this population and driving up governmental expenditures for their support. “The Transition to 21st-Century Disability Policy in an Era of Fiscal Austerity: A Road Map” will review the failings of current policy and discuss an approach to major structural reforms that could improve the economic status of people with disabilities, while reducing growth in government expenditures for their support. The webinar will call for a demonstration period to build the evidence base and political consensus needed to support major structural change that could be incorporated into addressing the nation’s long-term fiscal problems while protecting those relying on existing programs in the short term.
