We are recruiting 200 middle school science teachers willing to complete two multiple-choice assessments on flow of matter and energy two weeks apart. Teachers must be teaching (or have taught) middle grades science during the 2008-09 school year and must agree not to do anything to enhance their knowledge of flow of matter and energy between the two assessments. Each assessment will require approximately 45 minutes to complete.
As an incentive, each participating teacher will receive a $60 gift card, conditional upon the participant's fulfillment of the obligations described in the registration (linked below). The gift card can be redeemed with various merchants through Gifts.com. The incentive cannot be pro-rated for partial participation. Participants will not receive scores or any other kind of results from the assessments.
If you are willing to participate, or would like to learn more about the study, please go to the following web site.
Please be assured that this study is not designed to evaluate teachers. Individual teacher data will remain strictly confidential. The purpose of the study is solely to gather information about the assessments we have developed.
If you have any questions, please contact Jayme Dunnon at atlast_study@horizon-research.com or by calling toll-free (877)-297-6829. Participation in this study is limited and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jayme Dunnon
