Dear Educator
We are a research team of graduate students at the University of Minnesota from the Innovation, Liberal and Public Affairs studies areas.
We are curious about how much teachers do, or do not, influence decisions about teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment, and overall public education innovation. We want to see if there are impediments to innovation, real or imagined and what teachers believe those obstacles to be. We also want to get an idea of what the changes teachers feel are needed in the classroom to help their students keep pace with and qualify for jobs in the rapidly changing work place. Our objective is to learn from the voices at the grass roots level of education in order to assist leaders and policy makers in their decision-making processes about education resources and content.
As a teacher, you have the power to help us conduct our research, as well as the power to help give teachers a voice about positive change in education. We ask that take our brief survey and share this invitation with as many teachers as you think might be interested between now and April 30, when we must conclude this preliminary study. ALL RESPONSES WILL BE CONFIDENTIAL! All we ask is that you forward this message on to your members.
We realize that teachers are busy, especially during this time of year. The survey only takes 10 minutes and is online. Eventually, the blog will also host additional comments and more detailed opinions, innovation success stories, and ideas anonymously or with attribution.
Please take a moment to visit our blog and link to the survey:

We hold all communication in the strictest confidence according to IRB guidelines of the University of Minnesota. No communication or lack of same would be attributed to you or any other respondents in our results.
