Attachment G Invitations

Dear _______________,

Thank you for agreeing to participate in the REL Central Study on Characteristics of Feedback to Teachers. As part of this study, you are being asked to complete an online survey about your perceptions of the feedback that you received from your evaluator as part of your district’s teacher evaluation system. Your feedback is critical because it will help district and state leaders refine their understanding of feedback in teacher evaluation systems and to inform future training and guidance for evaluators.

The survey is expected to take 30 minutes to complete. You may access the survey by clicking on the following link, or typing it into your Web browser: https://aaa.bbbbbb.org.

Per the policies and procedures required by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, Title I, Part E, Section 183, responses to this data collection will be used only for statistical purposes. The reports prepared for this study will summarize findings across the sample and will not associate responses with a specific district or individual. Any willful disclosure of such information for nonstatistical purposes, except as required by law, is a class E felony. Please contact a Marzano Research Laboratory representative at XXX-XXX-XXXX if you would prefer to receive a paper survey to complete, or if you no longer wish to participate, and we will remove you from our contact list so that you do not receive reminders to complete the survey.

Thank you,

Trudy L. Cherasaro

Senior Researcher

Marzano Research Laboratory
