10/14-10/18
Today I gave a pretest for my action researcg project! My whole project is based around the question " How does Parent involvement affect student achievment?" For this pretest, I gave them 2 sheets about coins. The sheets required them to identify the sides/ pictures of coins as well as adding cents. I was honestly a bit surprised by the scores from the class. After reviewing all the test, I was able to identify 3 main problems that the majority of students has with coins. Firstly, many of them rushed through there work and made obvious little mistakes. The second problem was that almost 80 percent of the class forgot to use units ( the cent sign). The last problem was that students had trouble just identifying which coin is which. These problems will be something I talk to my students parents about tomorrow.
Question: Will all parents who RSVP'd to come show up?

It will be interesting to see if the parent night makes a difference. The other thing to consider is how you'll make up the difference for the kids whose parents didn't come--they can't get left behind just because their parents weren't there.
ReplyDeleteWe briefly discussed what you would do about the students whose parents didn't come to parent night or return their money packet. Do you have plans to help the students who did not do so well on their post-test?
