My name is Matthew Callison. I am a former elementary teacher working on my PhD in the School of Education at Indiana University Bloomington.
I am writing to ask for your voluntary participation in an online survey I created as part of a research study I am conducting. The purpose of this study is to learn more about elementary teachers knowledge of, and experience with, student-centered teaching approaches. My hope is that the information gathered in this study can be used to understand how we can better support elementary teachers.
If you are an elementary teacher, please consider participating in this online survey. Your experiences as an elementary teacher are invaluable in helping researchers and teacher educators learn more about how to support teachers like you in your important work.
The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal information unless you decide to leave your contact information at the end of the survey. You can learn more about the study and begin the survey (if you choose to participate) by visiting the link below:

If you know of other elementary teachers who may wish to participate in this study, please feel free to forward this email to them.
Thank you for your time.

Description: What can schools do to grow peaceful communities? What do you say if your child tells you they are being teased? What skills can you teach them at home to be more assertive?
With the growing challenges of bullying in public schools and the recent school shootings parents and teachers are coming together to find real lasting solutions. They want to unite their communities to give their children more–not only protecting them from harm, but giving them life-long skills that support social and emotional development and ultimately, happy fulfilling lives.
Maria Montessori looked deeply into the hearts and minds of children and discovered the child. Our professional development webinar provides expertise from a Montessori teacher and a parent coach. They will share rich resources to help you become more effective in dealing with bullying and issues of self-esteem. Find out more about what children need to grow in a healthy ways and to take ownership of their school community.
