> Student Learning Syllabus
>
>
> I ended the week by participating in an OSU Student Learning Community
> Syllabus Event on the campus of The Ohio State University. RSC is proud to
> partner with OSU and the Board of Regents on this important project to 
> reach
> out to students with disabilities as they begin their journey through
> college and into the workplace. Students with disabilities participating 
> in
> this type of Student Learning Community model develop individualized
> Transition Portfolios that identify their post-secondary goals for college
> and employment and demonstrate awareness of the steps, skills and 
> abilities
> needed to achieve their goals. I really enjoyed listening to the students'
> presentations.
