Ohio Longitudinal Transition Study
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that states report the post-school engagement of students with disabilities in post-secondary education and employment. IDEA also requires that all school districts collect outcome data for their students with individualized education programs (IEPs) at least once every six years. If your district has been selected to participate in the OLTS and you would like information regarding OLTS requirements, you can contact olts@kent.edu.

Standards By Design
The Standards by Design tool was created to help educators in career and technical education as well as traditional academics to more efficiently and effectively provide instruction to their students. Often the skills being taught in a career-tech classroom are practical applications of the concepts being taught across the hall in the academic classroom.
There are a variety of ways this tool can be used to facilitate instruction. A student may ask, “Why are we learning this? I’ll never use this in real life!” The Standards by Design tool was created to answer just this question. It can be used to uncover new ideas for lesson plans or to build a unit of instruction to be delivered concurrently in multiple courses. It can be used to foster collaboration among faculty. It can be used to help leverage precious instruction time to deliver simultaneous credit.
