The course I am currently taking is called School Community Relations and it has been so useful for my Action Research. I started my Action Research a few months ago at its focus was to increase parent involvement in my campus to improve discipline. It has now shifted in a different direction. After working on a plan and trying to implement it, I discovered that our school had not met AYP expectations this year in Reading...I decided to focus parental involvement activities on Literacy and not discipline. So, now my school leader has agreed on the change and we have been working to develop tools and Literacy nights for our parents and students that will increase literacy at home.
The weekly web conferences I've attended in this course have helped me out my giving me information and helping me feel more confident about my Action Plan. Both professors have shared their great knowledge with us about the importance of having a strong community involvement in our schools. They have also helped made the course seem not so much like work, but like a great support for our students achievement. they have also eased a lot of our doubts regarding assignments and our professional portfolio since it is a bit confusing at times.
I am very grateful that I took this course when I did, since it will guide me as I work with others in my campus to develop stronger parental relations by empowering them with easy and fun activities to do at home.
