  1. Bringing Parents Along on the VTSS/RtI Journey!

  2. Who am I? What will we talk about today?

  3. The journey can be sour or it can be sweet. It will depend on how you view it! Think Candy Land!

  4. You may be asking……why Candy Land?

  5. It is a “magical” road to sweet surprises!

  6. Reality Check! Wait a minute! Isn’t this magical journey on the Candy Land road filled with speed bumps?

  7. Before we move forward, let’s talk about the speed bumps that may slow us down or even get us lost in Lollipop Woods.

  8. Some that I have heard……. • More assessments for our kids • Quick way to get to Special Education Talk to one or two people sitting beside you to think of other speed bumps you may have heard or think you will hear from parents.

  9. What’s our next move? Let’s start by keeping our goal in mind!

  10. You want parents to be able to understand and articulate VTSS/RtI. Ultimately, you want your parents to be advocates!

  11. Start with your teachers. In Candy Land, Momma Gingertree is the first friendly face the players encounter. Your teachers are the first friendly faces your parents will see.

  12. Your teachers move us along the VTSS/RTI journey. They are the primary communicators. They build goodwill with parents. They talk about student data. They share the reasons for assessments.

  13. Communicators • Parent Teacher Conferences • Data Meetings • Problem Solving Meetings • Leadership Team Meetings

  14. Goodwill • Parent Brochure • Importance of Interventions & Enrichment • Recognizing student growth

  15. Data & Assessments • Show & share data

  16. How can I include parents? • SWAT Team • School Leadership Team Take a few minutes to brainstorm with one or two people beside you about how you might include parents.

  17. Building Capacity • Show your appreciation! • Interventions & Enrichment • Continued conversation with parent groups

  18. Other Stakeholders • Community Members • School Board Members

  19. In the end……It’s all about the KIDS!

  20. Questions/Comments
