Role of Parents and Families
As an RtI2 approach is implemented, procedures must guarantee that parents and families are informed and involved when students are first identified for intervention. Schools will also use a variety of ways to keep parents engaged and informed. Schools should:
• Seek parental involvement in the RtI2 implementation plans.
• Invite parental participation on school site teams as a collaborative partner.
• Advise the best method for parents to obtain relevant information about the school or their child.
• Distribute written material informing parents of their right to refer their student at any time for special education evaluation, as stipulated in IDEA 2004.
• Ensure that parents understand their rights and the educational rights of their student.
• Provide written material that outlines the role of RtI2 data in making SLD determinations.
• Help parents understanding the data and how they are used in instructional planning and interventions.
