The seven regional Indiana Cadres of Transition Leaders build capacity across the state and address a variety of secondary transition needs. Cadre members meet regularly (typically once a month or every other month) to discuss, plan, learn, and provide supports. Many cadres work on products to support their regions and the state. Past Cadre projects have included the Transition Assessment Matrix; parent information brochures; and videos to support teachers, students, and families.
Each Cadre has one or two facilitators, along with a support person from the Indiana Secondary Transition Resource Center team. Cadres are also supported by the Indiana Department of Education.
Interested in joining a Cadre? We hope you are! Not sure which Cadre your school district is in? You can find a map of Cadre boundaries and a listing of currently participating districts on the INSTRC Cadre webpage.
