Transition curriculum for your teachers and students.

NextUp can help improve results and help prepare students for employment success in a fun and engaging way.

NextUp Will Change Your Classroom

The customer service that I receive from NextUp is always top-notch. They go above and beyond to be timely in responses and always make sure I have what I need in order to meet the needs of the teachers and students in our cooperative.

Administrator, Illinois

As a transition teacher for nearly a decade, I struggled to find a meaningful and engaging curriculum for my students. NextUp has alleviated a great deal of my frustration, cut down on my plan time, and aligns perfectly with everything we try to teach our students while they are working towards meeting their post-secondary goals.

NextUp’s ability to be customized to fit the needs of my students has been tremendous. It has helped in creating a vision for our early transition services while students are in high school.
