Teachers Needed for Research on Conceptions of Dis/ability

Please see the following call for research participants from NJCTE member Ashley Pollitt:

I am writing to let you know about an opportunity to participate in a research study about teachers’ conceptions of dis/ability. To participate, you will complete a questionnaire about your professional experiences, teaching background, and conceptions of dis/ability. The questionnaire should take between 20-30 minutes of your time to complete. If you are a high school special or general education literacy teacher who is over 18 years of age, you may be eligible to participate. If you have any questions about the study, please contact the principal investigator, Dr. Nicole Barnes, Professor in the Department of Educational Foundations, at barnesn@montclair.edu. Thank you for considering participation in this study. This study has been approved by the Montclair State University Institutional Review Board, Study no. IRB-FY20-21-2204.
