THE PROVINCIAL ADVISORY TEAM (PAT)

1	Introduction		Characteristics of Success and Suggested Strategies Student Centred Teams • Transition team members have a responsibility to make each child’s strengths and needs the primary focus of the discussions and planning. • Ensure a commitment by participants in the transition process to keep the child’s strengths and needs at the centre of all discussions. • Listen to the needs of the participants and develop an individual transition plan that is appropriate for all involved. Provincial Advisory Team Recommended Communication Strategies Defined Roles & Responsibilities • Clarify roles, responsibilities and expectations for all team members. • Clearly defined roles establish a foundation for efficient and effective working relationships and support collaborative and complimentary functioning of transition teams. As transition teams expand or shift their focus, it would be helpful to identify team members, primary responsibilities, any shared responsibilities (e.g. reports on student’s IBI progress; communications liaison; records minutes and distributes). • Include outline of roles and responsibilities in transition protocols, ensuring that they are available to all members of the transition team.
