Hello everyone, There has been a big response to the postcard exchange. I am still looking for many states. If you are interested please email me at [email removed]:
Alaska Arkansas Conneticut Hawaii Idaho Iowa Louisiana Maryland Minnesota Montana Nebraska Nevada New Mexico North Dakota Oregon South Dakota Utah Vermont Washington Wisconsin Wyoming
A great group of teachers is looking for several states to join our yearly postcard exchange. We are only interested in dedicated teachers who are willing to be 100% committed to this project, so please only respond if you are truly interested. Unless you have wonderful parent volunteers who are willing to supply your postcards and stamps, you will most likely spend around $50 total on postcards and stamps. Please keep that in mind!
Each teacher is responsible for sending one postcard to each participating teacher (you will send out 49 postcards and in turn receive 49 postcards). Messages on the postcards can be written by your students (or by you if you teach younger grades), and may include interesting facts about the city/state you live in, state symbols, etc. A complete address list will be emailed to you by September 1st (possibly earlier if we have 100% participation by then). The deadline for sending your postcards is October 31st.
If you are interested in joining, please email me the following information:
Your name The grade you teach Your school's name Your school's address Your email address Your school's website or your classroom website address
Once again, please only reply if you are certain that you will be able to participate fully in our exchange. Thanks!!
We only need 7 states to complete our exchange and would love for your state to be represented. I know there has to be at least one teacher interested in participating! I will supply a template of names and addresses to help with mailing. We have excited teachers from all over the US ready to begin and we're waiting on you! Join us.

My name is Courtney Wright and I am a graduate of Peabody College of Vanderbilt with secondary certification (7-12) in English. Currently, I am a graduate student at Northwestern University working under the direction of Dr. Michael E. Roloff in the Department of Communication Studies with a concentration in Interaction and Social Influence. For my 2nd year project, Professor Michael E. Roloff and I are conducting a research study entitled, Classroom justice, principled dissent, and tenure status: Instructor reactions to perceived unfairness (IRB Project # 0423-055). The purpose of this research study is to explore instructor perceptions of, and reactions to, justice violations within school policies and procedures.
I am in desperate need of a population to sample and thus I am asking you, my fellow educators, if you would be willing to volunteer for my study and complete a questionnaire (the link is provided below). I am very interested in having your viewpoints included in this study and would greatly appreciate your being willing to spare a little bit of your time (approximately 45 minutes) to help a fellow educator and hardworking graduate student. The Northwestern University Institutional Review Board (IRB) has approved this research study and your participation will be completely confidential.
Please be gracious enough to complete and return the questionnaire [link provided below] via email. Directions to guide you through this technological process are included below. Because this is a “snowball” survey, we (Professor Roloff and myself) would appreciate it if you would forward this email to at least two fellow educators, one with tenure status and one without. We will appreciate any, and all input we receive regarding instructor perceptions of justice violations in school policies and procedures. Thank you in advance for your support!
Feel free to email me at c-[email removed].
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael E. Roloff, Faculty Investigator m-[email removed]

=(HELP) Need help from G1-6 classroom teachers = Topic: Classroom Teachers¡¦ (G1-6) Perspectives towards School-Based After-School Programs
Hello, dear G1-6 teacher!
I am now a graduate student who is working on the Master¡¦ s educational capstone research. My research topic is ¡§An Internet Survey of Classroom Teachers¡¦ (G1-6) Perspectives towards School-Based After-School Programs in the U.S. and Taiwan.¡¨ I planned to invite some G1-6 classroom teachers in the U.S. and Taiwan to help me to do an online survey. However, I am now encountering serious problems that need your help. It¡¦s now the holiday week and it seems like I am not having enough participants to do my survey before the survey deadline (12:00 PM, SAT, 26 Nov 05).
Please take a few minutes now to visit the following URL to help me and your district to evaluate the school-based after-school programs!:
