Well my action research was on ways we can improve our student's active participation in extra-curricular programs. I have hit a couple of hurdles regarding distributing my surveys. Apparently in order to do this and share the information I have to get parent permission. I am working with my administrators to come up with some other options. I have gotten some good ideas from informal discussion with students at ourelective fair and am hoping to implement some of those ideas.
Would you have to have parent permission to use any input from students discussing your project during one of your class time lectures? It would be a controlled group of students because, I am guessing you don't have every child in your school in your class. It would be like they were contributing to an assignment. Just a thought. Unless you're planning to use the student's names in your project, I don't see the harm in it. Good Luck. I guess I'll learn more about that kind of "freedom of speech" during our class time this week. The videos this week were very interesting. See you on Wed. at the Web Conference, if you make it. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged by the hurdles.
ReplyDeleteWhat kinds of questions were you going to use on the student survey? I am thinking along the same lines as Deb. Is it something you could do during the school day, during class?
