Study of Clinical Practice in Traditional Teacher Preparation Programs in Missouri

Survey of Clinical Practice in Teacher Preparation
Introduction

Dear Teacher, 

Thank you for considering participating in our study of recent graduates of teacher preparation programs. The study is examining the characteristics 
of the clinical practice components of teacher preparation programs. Results will be used to describe variation within and across programs and to 
inform future research that examines the effectiveness of program components. 

The following survey contains questions about the program or course of study that you participated in to become certified or licensed to teach 
(referred to in this survey as "your teacher preparation program"). Your participation is voluntary and you may choose to stop participating at any 
time. There will be no penalty if you do not participate or choose to withdraw from the study. 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 school, district, or 
individual. We will not provide information that identifies you or your school or district to anyone outside the study team, except as required by law. 
Any willful disclosure of such information for nonstatistical purposes, without the informed consent of the respondent, is a Class E felony. The 
online survey takes 20 to 30 minutes to complete. 

If at any time before, during, or after the study you have questions about the study, you may contact me at  
RMC Research Corporation, 633 17th Street, Suite 2100, Denver, CO 80202, (800) 922­3636. 

If you have any questions about your rights as a research participant, you may contact Liberty IRB, 1450 S. Woodland Blvd., Deland, FL 32720, 
(386) 279­4318. 

Thank you for your attention and help. 
Sincerely, 

Stephen Meyer 
Principal Investigator

Section A: Field Experience Characteristics

The following questions focus on the field experiences in your teacher preparation program. By "field 
experience," we mean activities in which you participated in PreK­12 classrooms and schools (and other settings 
in which you may have worked with PreK­12 students) as part of your teacher preparation program prior to 
becoming a classroom teacher. These include activities such as student teaching, observing or assisting in 
classrooms, tutoring, or conducting research.
