And finally, these resource materials are included: a possible schedule of meetings and other parent activities; a sample meeting notification letter; a sample meeting agenda; a sample questionnaire and sample worksheet for conducting a needs assessment; two planning guides; a list of possible topics to be covered at parent meetings; a checklist for arranging a meeting; procedures for conducting a meeting; a sample school visit record for parents; and a checklist for evaluating a parent involvement program.
