Report: Effective strategies for increasing parent involvement in K-12 special educationCategoriesAreasSTATE:inclusive leadership for equity and accountability AuthorsDaphne L.M Worsham Published2007, 2009 PublisherWestern Regional Resource Center AbstractBased on the priorities of IDEA 2004 states must report on their effectiveness in several areas. Parent Involvement is Indicator 8 in the State Performance Plan (submitted every 6 years) and the Annual Performance Report: “Percent of parents with a child receiving special education services who report that schools facilitated parent involvement as a means of improving services and results for children with disabilities.” (20 U.S.C. 1416 (a)(3)(A)). In the State Performance Plan (SPP) states must establish targets, and in the Annual Performance Report (APR) on the progress toward those targets. Data for this indicator is usually gathered via a parent survey. While improving those survey returns is a step to improving the data in the annual report, survey responses will only improve to the degree that the parent participation and satisfaction with services improve at the school and program level. The numbers reported in the 2007 Annual Performance Reports (APRs) indicate most states have good deal of work to do in this area. Files |
