2021-2022 Secondary Transition Training
The goal for the START Secondary Transition Training is to increase overall capacity at the RCN level for implementation of evidence-based practice transition supports and services. This will be accomplished by providing focused state and national resources, a strategic and interactive framework, and technical assistance through coaching support.
For the 2021-2022 school year, the Secondary Transition Training will be self-paced learning for trainers, individuals, and/or teams. The training, accessed on the START website, will include a full day webinar with an overview of transition and guidance on how to effectively navigate the training with teams. There will also be an opportunity to attend scheduled virtual coaching support sessions and a half day final webinar to share resources and implementation outcomes.
More information about this training, including registration and the process, will be provided to the RCN in October.

RCN Logo Refresh
Our project has grown and evolved over the years. START looks much different than it did 20, 10 or even 5, years ago, and the START logo reflects those changes evolving with our project. As an extension of START that represents our project’s identity and voice, we want to give the RCN the same opportunity for a refresh. START would like to acknowledge and honor your work through either a table runner or a banner featuring your new logo:
- 1 gift per ISD or 3 gifts for single county RCN:
- (2) Custom Tabletop Retractable Banner (11.5” x18”)
- (1) Custom Table Runner (36”)
- (1) Custom Table Runner (60”)
