Abstract | This module emphasizes the training of staff members of recognize the benefits of effective school-community cooperation and provides an opportunity for trainees to develop a viable community relations strategy. Reasons for community involvement are considered; these include becoming responsive to and aware of community needs, obtaining community input on what the school should be doing, and expanding limited school resources. The difference between community relations (communication to promote awareness of school programs, needs, accomplishments, and problems) and community involvement (activities bringing community members/organizations into direct contact with students and school programs) are delineated. The benefits of school-community cooperation are outlined as: student opportunities for community career exploration, experience in career decision making, awareness of community career placement opportunities, and exposure to a variety of community role models. Participants (lay groups and government and private agencies) are identified. Strategies suggested for improving community relations include news releases, radio/television announcements, newsletters, speeches, and posters. Strategies suggested for community involvement are advisory committees, tutorial programs, career information programs, student self-awareness programs, parent-child nights, school sponsored picnics, and job fairs. To present a fully comprehensive treatment of community relations and involvement, it is noted that this module could be combined with Module XIII, "Cooperative Agreements with Business, Industry, and Labor."
