You are invited to participate in a research study conducted by Heather Carew, a student in the Doctorate of Professional Leadership, EdD Program at Converse University in Spartanburg, SC. You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in this study. Please read this form carefully and ask any questions you may have before agreeing to participate.
PURPOSE OF STUDY:
The purpose of this study is to examine teacher experiences and perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) in the implementation of middle-level mathematics standards, including challenges, opportunities, and teacher adaptation. Participants will consist of certified middle-level mathematics teachers who are currently teaching in the United States and have at least one year of teaching experience. Data collected from this study will be used for a doctoral dissertation and may also be shared in presentations, conferences, or publications.

PROCEDURES:
If you agree to participate, you will complete an anonymous online survey via SurveyMonkey, which will take approximately 10 minutes. The survey includes demographic questions and items addressing your experience, confidence, and perceptions of the benefits or challenges of AI integration in mathematics instruction, including adaptation and opportunities. No interviews, recordings, or observations will occur. You may skip any question or stop participation at any time without penalty.

RISKS AND BENEFITS:
This study presents minimal risk, no greater than those encountered in daily life. Some participants may feel uncomfortable reflecting on how AI affects their job or discussing instructional practices. You may stop participating at any time. Although you may not personally benefit from participation, your responses will help improve understanding of teacher perceptions and adaptation of AI tools in middle-level mathematics classrooms.

CONFIDENTIALITY:
All survey responses are anonymous; no names, email addresses, or other identifying information will be collected. Each survey response will be automatically assigned a unique code. Data will be stored on a secure, password-protected computer with access limited to the researcher and faculty supervisor. Data will be kept for a minimum of three years after the study and then permanently deleted. Only aggregate results will be reported.
