Essential+Element++Parent+Involvement

 Within an RtI model, parents are informed and involved. Parents are provided with information about the RTI process, their child’s eligibility for and involvement in intervention(s), and their child’s academic progress (e.g., data reports). Procedures for obtaining parent permission, notifying parents, and explaining rights to due process are also included when appropriate. Information may be provided to parents through a variety of mechanisms, including newsletters, form letters, reports, and face-to-face meetings. Parents may be involved in several aspects of the educational process, including participation in the district and/or school-wide team(s), planning meetings, problem-solving teams, and progress-monitoring or decision-making meetings regarding their children. School personnel develop a plan for informing and involving parents at each tier or level of support and consider parents’ availability when scheduling meetings.
