Parents

Change—even change for the better—comes with some discomforts and questions.

Our materials can help you get the answers you need about your child's education. We define confusing terms and explain new education models, such as responsiveness to intervention and its relationship to the methods schools use to determine whether a student has a learning disability.

We suggest questions you can ask the teachers and administrators at your child's school and identify information you can expect to receive from the school.

In short, we developed these materials to help you be involved in efforts to improve education at your son's or daughter's school. The materials listed here are tailored specifically to parents. If you want to know more, our site offers many more resources for you to explore.
