The Purpose and Significance of My Action Research Project-

The purpose of my action research project is to confirm the relationship between student involvement in extra-curricular activities on our campus and success in the school environment. At our campus  I am charged with the responsibility of the In-School-Suspension program. I am lucky enough to get to see a small part of the student population over, and over, and over again. Is hard as it is to believe at times, I begin to build a relationship with some of these students an am interested in their success as a person. As a coach, obviously I have a particular interest in student involvement in extra-curricular activities. During this project, some of the ways I plan to collect data is from the discipline list, failure reports, student schedules, teacher and student questionnaire's.


The significance of my action research project is, I believe that the results will show that there is a great link between student involvement in extra-curricular activities whether it be athletics, band, ag, choir, or something else and them being successful in the school environment. I hope that with these results, encouragement from teachers, administration, and parents to be involved in SOMETHING will rise.
