  1. Ruth, this action plan will definitely make a difference with your students, have you thought about grandparents as well, sometimes the parents are working two jobs and don't feel they have time but it could be another idea. Parents do make a difference in the way the student's act if their parents or neighbors see how the school is run and helping in different volunteer positions. Great idea!

  2. Parental involvement is so important, especially to student achievement. At my previous school we hosted a TAKS meeting and only three parents came. The students whose parents volunteered and were visible on campus, were more successful academically. Several schools would benefit from your action research plan because parental involvement is a statewide issue.
    As you conduct research, look at how KIPP and YES Charter schools address parental involvement. They have been very successful over the pas few years. Good luck on your project.

  3. Susans idea's of getting the grandparents involved is fantastic. The more family members that are actively involved in promoting student success in school the better. Also how active are the PTOs and PTAs in your district? They would also be an excellent resource.

  4. Parent involvement ia very important but also limited due to working parents. I am interested on the results of your research plan and how it can be effective in upper grade levels. The results of your interviews will be interesting as well.
