Resumé

[DK]

Artiklen undersøger, hvordan transitionsforberedelse i specialpædagogiske grundskoletilbud formes i spændingsfeltet mellem kommunale forventninger og professionelles hverdagspraksis, når unge støttes i overgangen til uddannelse og beskæftigelse. Empirien bygger på et kvalitativt case-informeret interviewstudie i to kommunale tilbud med lærere, pædagoger, UU-vejledere og ledere. Med policy enactment og street-level bureaucracy følger analysen, hvordan forventninger gøres mulige gennem selektiv fortolkning, stabiliseres som lokale manuskripter via institutionelle tekster og kollegial overlevering og realiseres gennem skøn under knaphed. Artiklen synliggør, hvordan lokal variation og fordelingskonsekvenser opstår, når coping og people-processing etablerer implicitte kriterier, og relationel kapital påvirker støtteintensitet. Temporalitet fremstår som mekanisme, når planer mister aktualitet – og professionelle må kalibrere timing og intensitet i brobygning, koordination og opfølgning. Studiet peger på potentialet i tydeligere ansvarskæder og mere ekspliciterede prioriteringslogikker, der kan mindske personafhængighed uden at ophæve nødvendig fleksibilitet.

This article examines how transition preparation in Danish special educational lower-secondary provision is shaped at the intersection of municipal expectations and professionals’ everyday practice as young people are supported in moving towards further education and employment. The study draws on a qualitative, case-informed interview design across two municipal settings, involving teachers, pedagogues, municipal educational guidance counsellors (UU), and school leaders. Combining policy enactment and street-level bureaucracy, the analysis traces how expectations are rendered workable through selective interpretation, stabilised as local scripts through institutional texts and collegial transmission, and enacted through discretionary judgement under conditions of scarcity. The article makes visible how local variation and distributive consequences emerge when coping and people-processing establish implicit criteria, and when relational capital influences the intensity of support. Temporalities operate as a key mechanism as plans lose salience over time, requiring professionals to calibrate the timing and intensity of bridging activities, coordination, and follow-up. The study highlights the potential of clearer responsibility chains and more explicit prioritisation logics to reduce person-dependence without curtailing necessary flexibility.
