What is the requirement for student/parent contact in an individual plan?
Each individual plan must contain a direct student contact component. Districts are encouraged to require that this be a large component (minimum of one-third [1/3 or more]) of the individual educator’s plan. Each district should develop a specific requirement of direct student contact, and is recommended that a tutoring component be included. Parent contact activities are an important part of individual educators’ plans. Each district may develop specific requirements for parent contact activities. Parent contact hours should not exceed the required student contact hours. All student and parent contact hours must provide for direct and obvious improvement of student achievement in the content areas.
