Proactively Communicate with Parents About MTSS: Can You Answer the Top Four Questions?
Research indicates that parent involvement has a large positive impact on student academic achievement and motivation. Yet, communication barriers can hamper effective parental involvement. Intentional planning and effort to address parent-school communication barriers can increase parent involvement and engage parents as essential partners in student learning outcomes. Come to this session to learn about common barriers, concerns and questions parents have about data, decision points, and the intervention process. Leave with several resources that you can use as you communicate with parents about MTSS. You will also create a key questions and answers template to help you address common parent concerns about MTSS within your classroom setting.
- Participants will identify at least two common barriers to meaningful parent–school communication.
- Participants will identify three concerns or questions parents have about data, decision points, or the intervention process.
- Participants will identify two or more resources that they can use to help communicate effectively with parents about MTSS.
