Communicating About Interventions
Families should understand: why their child needs intervention, what the intervention involves, how progress will be measured, and what they can do at home.
Home-School Connection
- • Regular progress updates (weekly for intensive interventions)
- • Home practice activities aligned to intervention
- • Parent training on support strategies
- • Two-way communication channels
Intervention Planning
Plan, track, and measure the effectiveness of student interventions across all tiers.
Family Input
Families have insights schools lack: what works at home, student interests and motivators, family circumstances affecting school. Include family perspective in intervention planning.
Overcoming Barriers
- • Language: Provide materials in home languages
- • Time: Offer flexible meeting options
- • Trust: Build relationships before problems arise
- • Understanding: Explain jargon in accessible terms
