The Research Review Committee has reviewed a research project in which your school has been asked to participate.
Project Title: “Teacher Use of Year-End Summative Assessments in Sixth Grade Mathematics”
Applicant: Dr. Dee Dee Mower, Weber State University
The project has been approved by the District Research Review Committee. The applicant has been directed to contact you to discuss the extent of the project and to obtain your permission to conduct the study at your school.
This study involves your 6th grade teachers being asked to complete a questionnaire about their use of 5th grade Summative SAGE data for 6th grade math instruction. You will likely receive an email from the researcher asking that you forward it to your 6th grade teachers. If you have questions or concerns relating to participation, please contact Clyde Mason at 567-8243.
