Looking for Educators Working Within the Canadian School System

Posted by Department of Psychology and Neuroscience on March 4, 2020 in General Announcements

We are looking for educators to participate in a study to help us develop the Teacher Help: Classroom Management professional development program.

Potential participants must work within the Canadian school system as a classroom teacher, a specialized teacher (e.g., special education teacher, school counselor), an administrator (e.g., principal, vice-principal), behaviour specialist, or school psychologist and be responsible for, or give advice about, in-class behaviour management.

As a participant in this study, you would be asked to complete a telephone interview (20-30 min) with a researcher and respond to an online survey (10-15 min).

Your participation is entirely voluntary and would take up approximately 30-45 minutes of your time. By participating in this study, you will help us to optimize a new module for the Teacher Help program that will focus on providing professional development to teachers on the classroom management of disruptive behaviour.

In appreciation for your time, you will be entered in a draw to receive a $50 Amazon gift card and will be given the opportunity to review the Teacher Help: Classroom Management program.
