School-Community Resources Report Instructions

The School-Community Resources Report is the third part of the Benchmark Assignment: Community Resources Alignment Project.

The assignment is divided into four parts for submission. All four parts will be submitted through SafeAssign in Blackboard in the appropriate modules/weeks. You will also submit the School-Community Resources Report with the other components of this assignment in Module/Week 8 through LiveText.

This assignment is a study of the available community resources. In this study, you will research what resources are available in your community and analyze those resources. Following are the explanations of those parts:

1. Annotated Directory: Create an annotated directory of community resources with at least four of each for social service agencies, educational institutions, religious groups, businesses, etc. Categorize these resources according to the types of services offered. Provide complete contact information, including physical location, phone number, website, contact person, etc. The annotation after each entry must describe the services and how these might be helpful to the school. The data for annotations may be collected from brochures, web sites, and interviews with contact persons. (The format for the directory may be an outline, chart, or brochure.)

2. Analysis of Community Resources: Identify at least four gaps in services where needs are not met by school or community resources locally. List at least four suggestions to fill these gaps.

This report must be 5–8 pages not including a title page, abstract, and reference page with at least two references (published within 8 years) in current APA format. This assignment must be submitted through SafeAssign in Blackboard.

This assignment is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 7.
