Wk 2: Think Out Loud #1 - Publishing/Leadership Project
Over the last few days I have considered the direction of my final project, whether to choose the publication or presentation route. I agree that my action research project has merit because it evaluates the effectiveness of music as a literacy intervention tool. With budget cuts become ever so prevalent, especially in regards to the arts, understanding this research could help advocate for keeping music programs in the public schools. With this said, I hesitate for it to be published without running the project again with a different target audience. I desire for it be very useful and helping and feel that it has potential to save many music education jobs if presented effectively.
After thinking about it for some time, I think that the presentation route is the one that I will embrace for this project. I am a member of the Ohio Music Educators Association and I could easily see this research being presented as one of their individual sessions during the conference. Music advocacy is of great importance during these hard economic times, but regardless all classroom teachers should be knowledgeable of the usefulness of music.
