Dear K-12 Educators and Youth Librarians, We are doctoral students at Oakland University working under the direction of Dr. Tanya Christ, a professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning. We are conducting a research study to discover the impact of the United States’ sociopolitical climate on current literacy practices. We are recruiting current K-12 educators who teach literacy in some capacity (e.g., K-5 elementary teachers, grade 6-12 teachers including ELA and other content area teachers, reading specialists, literacy interventionists, etc.) or youth librarians to complete an online survey about whether/how the sociopolitical context in the U.S. is affecting their professional practices. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes. Your participation in this study is voluntary. The research will take place online, so you may access the survey anywhere and using any device you choose. If you have any questions about the research, please contact Dr. Christ via email at christ@oakland.edu<mailto:christ@oakland.edu> To participate in the survey, please click the link below: https://oakland.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_djvbpxhvu5jGOX4 Sincerely, Dr. Tanya Christ Danielle Alexander Nathan Heim Yujie Mao Jennifer Ostheimer Mary Patillo-Dunn Kim Stein Reply Forward Heather Wood-Gramza Michigan eLibrary Coordinator she | her | hers [cid:704e204a-00f1-4b41-9e07-fd9ee9186c8e] Library of Michigan 702 West Kalamazoo Street PO Box 30007 Lansing, MI 48909-7507 Office: 517.335.1497 [cid:79f317dd-6b4e-4bd4-bc78-2b5cb40aaf05] Get personalized voter information on early voting and other topics at Michigan.gov/Vote.
