The Arizona Department of Education, Exceptional Student Services (ADE/ESS) and the University of Kansas have developed the Secondary Transition Mentoring Project (STMP) to help eligible public education agencies (PEAs) improve secondary transition education/services and foster the development of local interagency community transition teams to improve post-school outcomes for students with disabilities.

Each year, teams of educators from 15 eligible PEAs come together to learn innovative strategies to reach established outcomes over a four-year program. Additionally, PEAs gain an understanding of how other Arizona schools have overcome transition issues by building professional networks with colleagues from around the state.
