Continuous Parent Involvement
Meaningful and effective parental/family involvement is critical to student progress
and required by both NCLB and IDEA. It is vital that parents be informed and
involved at each step in the process. Regardless of whether the parent or the
teacher initiated a concern, parent involvement should be facilitated throughout
the process. The district should communicate the information obtained from
progress monitoring to the parent each time the data are analyzed to make instructional
decisions and/or at regular intervals. Parents should be actively engaged in
all the decisions regarding adjustments to interventions and related changes
to a student’s curriculum.
Key Points to Remember:
- RtI is relevant and beneficial
to all students, regardless of placement
- RtI seeks to find out
what specific instruction and interventions work best for your
child
- RtI is not a categorical system that students must progress
through laterally to become eligible for special education
- RtI
does not override other rights under IDEA
