Hello:
You are invited to participate in the thesis study "Diversity Awareness of Teachers in Multicultural Education". In this study, pre-service and in-service teachers will be asked to complete the Diversity Awareness Profile survey that asks questions in order to compare their diversity awareness levels. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. Remember that there are no right or wrong answers and to be as honest and candid as possible with your responses. Consider each statement in terms of your personal values, beliefs, actions and reactions, and experiences.
Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be used to complete the requirements for my Masters of Education Thesis. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Kimberly Scott at 705-303-0079 or by email at [email protected]
Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
