I feel the readings this week, Chapter 2 -The Passions that Drive Your Journey, Dana, N.F., Leading with Passion and Knowledge have helped me to find my wonderings. I like the fact that I get to revise my topic as I progress through the assignments. I still like my topic on parent involvement and its' impact on student achievement. Ihave revised my action research study to ask, How will increased parental involvement reduce the amount of repeat detention offenders and increase student achievement. As I reread my topic it should really ask, " What are some alternative behavior management plans we could implement in our school, and in what ways are they effective for completing student homework assignments, reducing tardiness, excessive absenteeism and habitual behavioral problems?" I personally like to spend my teaching time on instruction and student participation versus handing out consequences for a student's lack of effort in attempting, completing or returning an assignment. I believe parents that are directly involved in their childs academic success knowingly ask to see their homework and want to know what and how their child is doing in school. Something to think about.
