"Assessing Parent Involvement: A Checklist for Rural Schools": discusses educator beliefs that support successful parent engagement programs, challenges and advantages of rural schools attempting to involve parents and community, and aspects of successful programs; lists 10 Web sites providing parent involvement resources; and presents a 12-item checklist to assess parent involvement. "Community Asset Mapping" discusses: the importance of mapping community strengths and resources; steps in creating an asset map; and suggestions for generating a community profile, completing a community capacity inventory, and conducting a "windshield survey.""Community Engagement: An Inventory": briefly reviews research findings with practical implications for community engagement; describes four relevant resource centers; and presents the five-part Community Engagement Inventory. "Creating Safer Rural Schools: Involving the Community" discusses: risk factors for school violence; guidelines for creating a community team to plan school safety, identifying areas for action inside and outside the school, and planning for a crisis; and two recommended books. Two checklists cover: school policies and procedures to prevent violence; and physical features of the school building and campus.
