Dear Teacher,
The Impact of Coaching on Learning in a 1:1 Environment
My name is Michael Mitchell and I am a doctoral student in the Department of Education Leadership, Management, and Policy at Seton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey. I am conducting a survey to examine the ways in which teachers integrate technologies into their instruction and the role that technology coaches may play in facilitating that process. The survey will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
You are invited to participate in this survey because you are a certified middle and/or high school teacher employed in a school with a 1:1 mobile device program. Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and you have the option to opt out and receive no further contact.
All your responses will be kept confidential. Responses from the survey will be kept on an encrypted USB flash memory drive and stored in a locked room in my home. The information this survey yields, will be stored securely for a minimum of 3 years. The principal investigator and his research supervisor will be the only ones who have access to the surveys. No personally identifiable information will be associated with your responses in any reports of these data. However, as with all online surveys emailed to potential subjects, there is always the possibility of hacking with online materials.
