EDLD 5326 Reflection: School and Community Relations

In the initial phases of this course, School and Community Relations, I was very excited because it directly related to my action research plan.  Since I needed to learn more about how to involve parents with the school, it really opened my eyes to some federal mandates that our Title 1 school needed to address.  This course has really assisted in me in developing and collecting data for our little rural school and opened my eyes to some underlying issues that we have at hand.  After researching some of our data, I used it to create a program that could be implemented at our school to address the areas of low mathematical achievement.

The program I developed is called MAP, Mathematical Achievement Partnership.  This program's presentation can be viewed at: MAP for Success: Mathematics Achievement Partnership

Please feel free to take a look at the presentation and don't hesitate to tell me what you think!

The main impact that I have received from this class on my Action Research Plan was the ability to gather data, looking at federal mandates, and learning some strategies and mindsets to assist in building the parent/teacher/student community.
