Dear Teachers,
Researchers at the University of Oregon invite you to participate in a study about teachers and needy students. We realize that teachers often see children more hours each day than any other adult in their lives. We would appreciate your help to further understand the multiple roles that you play in this capacity.
The focus of this study is to learn about teachers’ experiences with needy, challenging and difficult children. We are especially interested in learning about the students who are in most need of guidance and/or intervention. We would like to learn how you respond to needy students and about the resources and support the school system provides to help them. We also ask about your personal beliefs about intervention, your level of training, and perceived level of preparedness to deal with challenges in today’s classroom.
If you are interested in learning more about this study, please visit our website at:

Your participation is completely voluntary and confidential. We guarantee your confidentiality unless you tell us your name. We prefer that you do not use your full name when creating a “username” for the survey.
Thanks for your interest,
Sincerely,
Lisa DeMarni Cromer, M.S.
