Site Supervisors Review of my Action Research Plan

I met with Ms. Muzzicato to discuss my action research plan.  She is very excited about my research and is anxious to see the outcomes.  We both feel that student achievement at all levels education and socio-economic status is a direct correlation with parent involvement.  But, the research is going to provide educators and administrators ways improve parent involvement and thus increase student success in the classroom. We discussed my possible challenges (1) assembling the group of members for my action research committee because it’s a busy time for teachers and the possible lack in passion for the project, (2) making sure that we get an equally likely and fair sample of the student population. At this time, we agreed not to make any changes to the initial action research plan until after the campus in-service ends on August 24.  This will give me an opportunity to provide some professional development so that the perspective participants can see the benefit of the research and hopefully buy-in. During this time, I can also discuss the scope and sequence of the project and attain some feedback on ways to scale down the scope if needed. I left the meeting feeling very good about the prospect of the research.  I felt supported by Ms. Muzzicato and this will allow me to press on even when the project becomes difficult or has potential snags.
