Reflection and update AR project


My action research project is titled, “The Role Parental Involvement Plays in Music Education Today”.   I have begun meeting with several of the music staff teachers here in the district getting assistance towards my questioning for my survey.  I have been meeting with these teachers to make sure I have a well-rounded view of this study/survey.  Many of them have given me valuable information towards the creation of my survey.  I have created my survey and sent the link to all music teachers in the district who are at the middle school level.  They have agreed to post the link on their boards in class ensuring that each kid will get the opportunity to complete the survey during class time.  Majority of our students have ipads on campus that were provided by our district so they are in the process of completing the surveys as I type now J.  I am targeting 300+ kids to complete the survey my next step is to design a survey that their parents will take before the end of this spring semester.  I have been giving my students extra bonus points for those who have completed the survey in a timely manner.  As for hours on the project I have been meeting with the music staff in our district for the last two and a half months during our Monday mornings staff meetings in which would total around 24+ hours at this point.  I will have more hours once I collect the surveys and begin to analyze the results because I want feedback from their teachers before I reach out to each of their parents to complete a survey tailored for parents, who are responsible for music students.  I will also post reflections on my blog as well.
