PhD Candidate seeks to understand how Montessori teachers respond to externally imposed policies.
Heather Gerker, PhD Candidate at University of Cincinnati, invites Montessori teachers to participate in a dissertation research study (UC Study, IRB #2023-1082) seeking to understand how Montessori teachers respond to externally imposed policies and how, if at all, they have engaged in policy advocacy at the local, state, or national levels. She also aims to identify what types of support Montessori educators need to be advocates and areas where Montessori educators could voice their support or opposition regarding policies that influence their Montessori teaching methods.
“If you are currently a credentialed Montessori PreK-12 classroom teacher in the United States who is over 18 years old, we need your input! Your experiences are crucial as we learn more about implementing the Montessori pedagogy. Additional information about the study is attached to this email.
The survey for this phase of the study is specific to your political efficacy. That is, your thoughts on politics and government. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. The final question in the survey invites you to also be contacted for the second part of the study to participate in a group discussion. Complete the brief survey at this link.”
