Secondary Educators

The Florida Center for Students with Unique Abilities (FCSUA) has $6,000 in annual funding to high schools to develop and implement College and Career Transition Clubs (CCT Clubs) throughout Florida.

Transition skills and academic skills can be taught simultaneously. With this tool, we aligned Common Core College and Career Readiness Standards, Common Core Language Arts Standards, and research-identified skills students need to obtain employment or participate in further education after high school. The activities and annual transition goals are arranged on a continuum to accommodate students with the least support needs to students with more support needs.
