California's Education Transition Center has developed a network of exemplary collaborative transition programs which agree to provide site visitors with information about school, community, and private programs that can improve school-to-adult-life transition services for "at risk" students. This document contains guidelines prepared to assist model visitation sites to: identify and evaluate exemplary programs within their school district's boundaries; set up local visitation networks; coordinate the visitation process; and conduct follow-up assessments of their visitors' plans and actions for implementing changes or improvements in their service areas. A flow chart of major activities outlines the steps involved in establishing a model visitation site. Steps in the flow chart include such activities as assembling an advisory board to examine exemplary programs; screening sites; developing materials to disseminate information about the programs; and visitation screening, planning, and recordkeeping. A total of 33 attachments provide instructions, sample letters, sample questionnaires, action plans, and other guidance for each step's implementation. (JDD)
