“A Toolkit for Title I Parental Involvement”

SEDL (formerly Southwest Educational Development Laboratory) is a well-respected nonprofit “think-tank” on education issues. Their research on parent engagement/involvement in schools is highlighted in our soon-to-be published book, “Building Parent Engagement In Schools.”

The SEDL National Center for Family and Community Connections with Schools recently published a free Toolkit for Title I Parental Involvement.

This is their description of the resource:

“In this toolkit, SEDL provides detailed explanations of the Title I, Part A parental involvement provisions as well as thirty-three tools to assist state departments of education, districts, and schools in meeting these requirements. Both the explanations and the tools are designed to help educators increase parental involvement and provide opportunities for parents to engage in and support their children’s academic achievement. The toolkit includes information on the following topics:

* Policy, Planning, and Building Capacity
* Communication, Notification, Reporting, and Information Sharing
* Parent Rights and Options
* Meaningful Involvement and Decision Making
* Fund Allocation”
