This toolkit is designed to provide information to those who are implementing Title I Part A parental involvement provisions. By using these tools, you can increase the "transparency" for parental involvement in children's education. The toolkit provides two types of information: I. Explanations for Title I, Part A notification and involvement provisions—This text describes the actions and processes that State Education Agencies (SEAs), Local Education Agencies (LEAs), and schools must take to meet the provisions of Title I, Part A. II. Useful Tools —These tools provide examples of information sheets, checklists, letters, surveys, and other resources SEAs, LEAs, and schools use to assist them in implementing Title I, Part A notification and involvement provisions. 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 • Funding Allocation Click here to Download the Toolkit (3.5MB PDF)     © 2010 The Parent Information Center of NH The NH Parents Make the Difference website is a collaboration between the Parent Information Center of NH and the NH Department of Education.  This website is supported with funding from the US Department of Education through the NH State PIRC grant of the Natonal PIRC program.
