Hello,

I am a Science Education PhD student at North Carolina State University. My dissertation is focusing on funding for instructional materials in high school science classrooms and data will be collected through an online survey.

I was wondering if you could forward the information below to high school teachers in Oregon. I am trying to collect data from all states.  My goal is to have representation nationwide and be able to share any data I collect back with the state science teacher organizations.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide!

Emily Cayton

Colleagues,

As seen in recent news reports, teachers are spending out of pocket money to support their classrooms. Science teachers conducting lab activities often have a greater need for resources.

Do you have all the funding and supplies needed to teach?

As a fellow science teacher, I am aware that some science teachers have adequate funding while others are in desperate need of resources. Little is known about science funding, and I need your input.

Help me document funding needs, funding inequities, and what it costs to offer high quality science instruction. Please consider taking this 5-10-minute online survey to give your perspective on funding and resources in high school science classrooms. Participants will be eligible to be entered in a drawing for one of ten $25 gift certificates to Amazon for completing the survey.

Use the link below to complete the survey. Please forward to colleagues who may be interested in sharing their experiences.
