This publication is designed for counselors, teachers and parents who want to improve their local guidance program and make it more responsive to the needs of those it serves. Broad and intensive school-community involvement, including parents, pupils, school personnel, school board members, and concerned citizens, is a primary feature. Step-by-step planning procedures are listed, based on the school's purpose and educational goals. Chapter One offers an overview for the casual reader. Chapter Two outlines the range of commitment and depth of involvement necessary for implementation of the process. Chapter Three contains specific procedures as well as samples and simulations of activities and materials to be used in school settings. (Author/BP)
