Our article was about building communities in two different methods.   One is very traditional   and involves deficit thinking.

The second method is Capacity Focused Development - asset development in a community.   It is an inside out , relationship building, down up method.

Two pathways - deficit thinking - Members fundamentally think of themselves as victims incapable of taking charge of their lives and of their community's future.


Capacity focused - comes from within, assets development, leads toward the development of policies and activities based on the capacities, skills and assets of lower income people and their neighborhoods.

five ways to fail.
1.   Think of yourself as the main parent involvement person at your school.

2.   Think of parent involvement as something that only happens when parents are in your school building.

3. Try to build positive attitudes among parents by just using newsletters, memos, newspaper articles, TV, other mass media.

4. Keep on thinking that children from 'broken' or 'disadvantaged' homes do not have the benefit of parent involvement.

5.Write parents off as apathetic and uninterested after you repeatedly provide programs for them and invite them to come to school, but they don't show up!

30-3-30 rule and dollar bill explanation

Know the 30-3-30 Rule:
-   80% of the people will spend just 30 seconds reading what you send home;  
- 19% will spend just 3 minutes;  
- 1% will spend 30 minutes.


Use the dollar bill test: A dollar bill, placed any direction, should touch some graphic element-such as: a bullet, rule, picture, screen, boldface type, underline, different color, etc.
