4.Interview Process.  Before the interview begins, the interviewer will  describe the project, and ask if you have questions. We will not proceed, or begin recording, until you say you are ready.

The interview will begin with this question,

"How have educators (e.g. teachers, counselors, coaches, librarians, nurses, administrators, etc) behaved that have made it more possible for you (or your child) to thrive and learn in school, and behave in ways that allow others to thrive and learn?

Once you answer that question,  the interviewer will ask follow up questions to learn more.

You may ask for a pause or stop the interview at any time. You may choose not to participate at any time.(Required.)
5.Quotes and confidentiality:

Our report of the findings of this research will be available publicly after March 1, 2024.  We'll report on patterns, trends, and common practices, not individual responses.  But to describe those patterns, trends and practices, we will include illustrative quotes, which we will alter as needed to ensure the quoted participant is not identified.

You have options about how or if we quote you in the report.

Please read  through the list below and check all that apply to you. You may contact us at any time before March 1, 2024 to change your preferences.
