Action Research reflection wk2

  1. The Role Parental Involvement Plays In Music Education.
  2.  Equity in funding for Programs.
     3.  Lunch room discipline

As I sat down with my principal and discussed the 3 topics of interest to me he agreed that the 1st one dealing with Parental Involvement as it relates to Music Education would hit home for me and I would get the most efforts through these findings in terms of application to the staff members here.  He suggested to make sure I pin point exactly what I gain to learn and it’s findings while still making it meaningful to all that would be affected.  Another aspect was, our school is very diverse and that there are tons of information that I could read and survey to get my research plan up and running.  We agreed to meet with me either privately or even in passing to make sure I’m heading in the right direction when it comes to meaningful research.  Some of the things we agreed upon are the following guided questions throughout the research;
The level of support coming from home for the arts?
* Parent(s) highest level of education?
* Any experience in the arts?
* Single parent households i.e. lack of father figure, grandparents raising the student, single mother?
* Does it affect the student's overall success in Music in terms of how well they play, perform or practice at home?
