Description

Beyond High School is located at Collin County Community College. Eight teachers and four paraprofessionals/job coaches currently support 23 students. Whose Future Is It Anyway is used to help students self-direct their transition planning process. Scheduling is highly individualized with the emphasis on employability skills and employment. All students participate in career exploration activities, job training or competitive employment. A job coach accompanies the students into the workplace to provide additional training according to each student’s level of need and remains with the student to support that employment as long as necessary. Community-based instruction is provided in the actual community settings in which the student plans to live, work and recreate. Staff at Beyond High School meet regularly with adult agency representatives to help provide a seamless transition towards postsecondary adult living.
