The ECU STEPP Program Transition Curriculum resources are intended to be used by teachers and families supporting transition to college for students with learning differences. Materials are available for students in middle school and high school. The resources consist of Classroom Materials and Family Materials.

Classroom Materials include:

• Fully developed lesson and activity plans designed to help students take one STEPP at a time to get ready for college
• PowerPoint slides to accompany each lesson with detailed teacher notes included
• Student activity handouts with teacher answer sheets
• Student guided notes for each module

Lessons and activities are designed to take approximately 30 minutes each, and were originally conceived as appropriate for a Curriculum Assistance class environment. Teachers are, however, encouraged to reformat or alter lessons/activities as needed. Curriculum resources are posted in both .pdf and rich text formats. Feel free to print and distribute the files to students for educational purposes. Rich text files can be modified as needed for your unique setting and student population.

Family materials cover the same college preparation topics as the classroom resources but in a more family-friendly format. Modules are designed for students and parents to work through together with no advance preparation required. Modules can be completed online or printed for use in paper format. Modules are divided into sections that should each take approximately 30 minutes to an hour to complete so families can work through them at their own pace.

These materials were developed through the STEPP Program at East Carolina University and are available at no cost. The ECU STEPP Program only asks that you (1) appropriately reference materials that you distribute to students and others and (2) provide feedback after using the resources on the curriculum web page.
