Answer Book on RTI-School-Family Engagement and RTI-Amy L. Reschly, Ph.D
“Families are a vital source of information about students. Educators should strive to have a range of family-, school-, and collaborative family-school interventions available to their school team, students and families. School teams must plan for and invite family engagement in all stages of the problem-solving process from assessment and intervention planning and implementation to evaluation and decision-making (Reschly et al, 2007).
