Action Research Plan

Charity,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your action research detailed outline, I think you have a solid plan to back up your action research. Parental involvement is an important factor in each child’s success in every area of life: academic, social, spiritual, athletic, etc. Because most parents are so busy in their daily activities that can be overloaded and challenging, it takes away valuable time to get involve in their children’s academic endeavor. I can speak as a parent of three, respectively in elementary, high school, and recently in community college this summer. As a teacher as well, I understand how frustrating it can be sometimes to setup a conference with the parent of a student who is failing or sleeping in class (which is so common these days) or one with behavioral issues and the parental support is either lacking or inexistent. Sometimes, some parents get excited and get involved in the lower grade levels of their children’s lives and drop the ball as they get older. I hope your research results and recommendations go beyond pre-k and kindergarten levels. You have the ball rolling, keep up the good work and press on Charity!
Charity,
ReplyDeleteYou were one of the four blogs I recorded to visit throughout this course. I am interested in your research because I work at the primary level and parental involvement is key for students' success at any grade level. I think you are right on track with your plan. I have worked for two different districts and we have had math/literacy nights for parents at both. We have done them several different ways, so let me know if you need some ideas or want to run any ideas by me. I noticed you said you would consider your plan successful if you had 20 parents out of 400 participate. I was wondering if you had a baseline to work from. Has your school not had any kind of parent involvement or just very little? I know it has been helpful at our schools to offer food and a movie or activities for the kids while the parents participated in the training. We have also had training where the parents make things to take home to work with their child at home (flash cards, patterning, etc...). We still offered the food and care for the other children in the household. I hope some of my ideas helped. Please, let me know if I can be of further assistance. I think your project is looking great!

Charity,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your highly-detailed plan. Research into how to best increase parental involvement is relevant, and important. Keep up the great work, and I know you'll achieve your research goals!
