Parent Professional Partnership Part 4-Resources Worksheet

Complete the Resources Worksheet below to help you think through what people, time,
materials, space and financial resources you may need for your project.

It is really important to balance the “effort/input” it will take you to prepare/disseminate
any component of your project against the “returns” to your project
You don’t want to spend your own $$ to get this project done –
SO: Ask for it out of program budgets, ask for donations or have parent volunteers do a fund-
raiser if you need $ and it’s not available
You don’t want to sit up till midnight making 45 buttons for a group to wear
SO: Who can help you GET IT DONE? How?

• Children in your classroom?
• Parents? Grandparents?
• Colleagues?
• Senior volunteers?
• Other volunteers?
• PTO?
• Older children (junior high, high school, college)?
• For community service credits or class projects?

Identifying resources you need to support your project

NEED RESOURCE HOW will you get it, ask
