I would like to share the progress on my action research thus far. My action research project is off to a good start. I want to know how increasing parental involvement will affect discipline. The first step in my action research project was to identify twenty students to use as a control unit who create discipline problems on campus. I started with ten seventh graders and ten eight graders. These students were on campus last year and had several referrals.  I created a club, The Rebound Club, to give these students a second shot to correct their behavior. I had these students to answers questions about their past discipline problems and what they were going to do in an attempt to correct these problems. There were a lot of answers to the way the kids said that they would correct their behaviors. The next and the main purpose of this research, increasing parental involvement, were to get the surveys out to the parents. This is the part of the research was difficult. There were many barriers. One is not having the correct information on file to send the information. During meet the teacher night, I had the opportunity to talk with some of the parents and explain to them the importance of being involved in their child’s education. One thing that I have noticed while doing my research is that parents really want to know when their child is misbehaving at school. This research is one that I think will not only help this school, but many schools across the district and maybe the state. I look forward to continuing this research and to find out the effect of parental involvement and how it affects discipline.
