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.

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. Christina Gamache Jennifer Freyd, Ph.D.
I'm looking for a few new members to join my 2004-2005 postcard exchange! :o) This is an established International Post Card Exchange. Students love learning about their friends around the world! Please email me if you're interested! THANK YOU!
The following states are still needed to complete our Postcard Exchange: AL, AK, CO, CT, DE, DC, IA, KS, KY, ME, MD, MN, MT, NV, NH, ND, OR, RI, SC, SD, WV, WY
If you are interested, please e-mail me your school address. We would love to have you. To find out more about the Postcard Exchange, read on.
I teach 5th grade and find that a postcard exchange ties in well as a geography review, as well as writing--the format of a postcard.
If you choose to join, your job will be to send each participant a postcard. Usually I have my class create one postcard and then photocopy and glue it on individual postcards. In the letter we include information about our state and our school.
Then when we receive the various cards from other states we display them on a bulletin board. I put a U.S. map on the wall and everytime I receive a card we put a pin in that city/state and attach the postcard.
My students love receiving the postcards. They have an opportunity to learn little things about states and schools.
At the end of the summer I will be e-mailing all of the participants a list of addresses that will be involved in the exchange. Usually we have about 30 states, I would love to get all 50 states, but I haven't had that happen yet. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you are interested so I can add your state to our list.
Join the fun! We need ONE CLASS from Oregon to help complete our postcard group. If interested, you will need to obtain about 50 picture postcards and stamps. Include a message about your state (state symbols, interesting facts, famous places, people, etc.) We will mail our postcards in October. I will supply preprinted address labels. If you are interested in joining our group, please email me or go to my website and sign up there.
It's so much fun to see the excitement in your class when the mail comes and the postcards begin to arrive. US Geography has never been so much fun!
Hi, I am Miss M, a 5th grade teacher, from MS. Your state is needed for a K-6 postcard exchange. We'll only be accepting one address from each state. Please keep in mind that you will be responsible for sending a postcard representing your state to all of the 49 states on the list. I will send you a list of all teachers participating in September. The list will close on September 30 or as soon as we have all 50 states. Help me spread the word! We will mail out postcards the month of October. IF you are interested please email me at [email removed].
Learning Palace has some really good stuff.
