Nominations are now being accepted for this year's Arizona Secondary Transition Services Awards!
On behalf of the Arizona Department of Education, Exceptional Student Services, and other partnering agencies, you are invited to submit your nominations for this year's Secondary Transition Services Awards, which will be presented at Arizona's 2023 IDEA Conference.
Your nomination is important to recognize the secondary transition contributions and successes happening across Arizona. Nominate a youth/young adult, community member, and/or educator for their exceptional efforts.
Nomination categories:
- Youth/Young Adult: A youth or recently graduated young adult who has benefited from successful secondary transition services.
- Community Member: An individual (employee, manager, owner of a community business, etc.) who provides exemplary support for students and/or young adults with disabilities to enhance community-based experiences and opportunities.
- Educator: A PEA or Secure Care certified staff, classified staff, support staff member, related service provider, or administrator who provides remarkable secondary transition services.
For each nomination, you must provide basic demographic information about the candidate’s background, strengths, and his or her outstanding participation in the secondary transition process.
We encourage you to nominate multiple individuals across all categories. Please do not nominate programs or groups for any of the award categories, as we wish to recognize people for their individual efforts.
All nominations submitted on or before Wednesday, May 31, 2023, will be considered. Award winners will be selected and notified in June.
