Interested in Participating?

This study has two phases. You may choose to only participate in the first phase. Or, you can participate in the first phase and also agree to be considered for the second phase.

  1. First phase: complete an anonymous, online survey*
  2. Second phase: participate in two interviews with Becca (via Zoom) and send her a recording of you teaching a lesson 

*Survey information:

  • The survey explores how secondary social studies educators understand and experience teaching difficult histories. Specifically, questions will address:
      1. The role of emotion in learning and teaching difficult histories
      2. The curricular and instructional decisions educators make and strategies they use when teaching difficult histories
  • The survey will take 10 – 15 minutes to complete.
  • You can skip any questions that you do not want to answer.

Upon completion of the survey you will be entered into a raffle for a $50 Amazon gift card. Those teachers that participate in the second phase of the study will receive $100.
