Comments on Agreed Action Research Plan

Comment #1:  “Has your school turned to the PTA to help provide supplies to students? This is something you could address during your research. The PTA could also be a resource for funding for field trips, books, and school spirit wear that the students would have a difficult time paying for.”
This comment was very helpful and will be extremely effective in my action research plan.  During week 2 and 3, I will be conducting a PTA conference in order to increase funds for these economically deprived students.  I didn’t think of going to the PTA at all and am thankful for this comment.  I will have an added resource to help my proposed research plan.
Comment #2:  “I like your topic. Is your school a Title I school, if so there are funds that should be set aside for resources and supplies. Encourage your departments to spend money on basic supplies so it doesnt become an issue. Some committed teachers will also spend money during back to school sales (Its tax deductible). Also look and see if businesses are willing to donate items that students can use. Many business will give in the spirit of educating our students. Great Topic. Good luck in your findings.”
One of my schools is a Title 1 school, yet the other is not.  The one school that is a Title 1 school does set aside extra monies for those students in need.  We are developing an outreach program through teachers and staff in hopes of possible clothing donations.  In the closing of my action research plan, I will ask local businesses and military to help donate bikes and extra toys for these students.
