Policy generally refers to outlined ways of doing things, which are usually linked to laws. Educational reforms are changes in educational policies, expectations, and implementations. Policy and educational reform includes reforms at the federal, state, and local levels. Examples of federal reform include the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990), Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act (2018), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (2004), the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB, 2011), and others. Educational reform can include national programs like School-to-Work or state and school level reforms. Policy and educational reform is relevant to transition planning because it can alter what transition planning looks like and what it should include. The literature describes a multitude of policy, law, and educational reform and how they impact learners with and without disabilities, school demographics, educators, administration, and others. Overall, IDEA (2004), NCLB (2011), and Perkins (2018) were the most discussed policies. Other policies included Goals 2000 (1994), School-to-Work (1994), and various state and local policies and educational reforms. This annotated bibliography summarizes 27 resources relating to policy and educational reform in career and technical education in transition planning.
