REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

Since November 2003, NASET has worked to define a multi-organizational perspective by identifying benchmarks that reflect quality secondary education and transition services for all youth. NASET's primary task, therefore, has been to promote high quality and effective secondary education and transition services by articulating standards that serve to guide policy development and professional practice at both state and local levels... In November 2003, 30 national organizations assembled in Washington, DC to establish a national voluntary coalition, the National Alliance for Secondary Education and Transition (NASET). Subsequently, additional organizations joined the NASET effort, bringing the total involved to more than 40 national organizations and individuals representing general education, special education, career and technical education, youth development, postsecondary education, workforce development, and families.
