Discussion and Brief Outline with Draft of Action Plan Revised
Wondering: Why is parent involvement and participation so low?
Inquiry: What are some strategies our school could implement in order to increase parent involvement?
Setting: Elementary school.
Target Group: All Parents
Sample: I am having each teacher provide me a list of at least 2 parents they believe would become more involved if motivated. (Teacher identified parents)
Sample Size: 40-60 parents (1-2 parents identified by each teacher)
Description of how I will conduct research: Using survey monkey, and other survey questionnaires I will get feedback from both teachers and identified parents about parent involvement. A survey will also be sent out school wide to all parents that were not identified in the sample group as well. I am then going to try and recruit the parents in the sample group to participate in a group discussion / interview with the focus on Parent Involvement issues and concerns. Call these parents my Parent Involvement Committee if you will J The feedback from surveys and interviews will provide valuable information which I can use to determine what strategies I will use and implement in order to improve parent involvement. Internet research and the use of the Dallas ISD
Parent Services and their website will help provide me with the strategies that I will implement based on survey and interview responses. Sign-In Sheets from parent trainings, events, PTA, SBDM, family nights, Parent Teacher Conferences and volunteer tracking sheets will be used to help assess and evaluate if the chosen implementations proved to be good resolutions. Data from the school scorecard, volunteer registration website, and the new electronic parent check-in system will provide data to evaluate any success as well.
