Developing an Action Research Plan

I thought that developing an action research plan would be easy but as I began to talk with my site supervisor she told me that my topics were too broad and that I needed to be more specific. She helped me understanding it by comparing it to the SMART GOALS that we do at the beginning of every year. She said that I want to make sure that I could track the progress and that it would not take too long to see results of it working or not working. I wanted to really concentrate on parent’s involvement in schools since I feel that this is something that is really lacking. Even though I do not understand it because I want to know everything about my son's education to ensure that he will be successful. After thinking about it, I was able to find a place to start at....increasing parent involvement in the math classroom. Whenever I contact parents about their Childs math grade I seem to constantly hear that they do not know how to do it or they were bad at math and that is why their child struggles too. I am not so sure that math skills are genetically linked, but okay. So I now want to look at developing a program, or sessions so that we are able to work with parents so that they are able to help their child. All this one on one help could benefit many children and it is hard when our tutorials are anywhere from 8 to 30 kids. One on one really doesn't get to happen that much at my school. I am looking forward to developing and implementing this program at my school hopefully with the help of the other math teachers!
