Final Reminder - Questionnaire Invitation Email

Attachment 7b:

Final Reminder - Questionnaire Invitation for Principal Investigators

Subject: Friendly reminder: Your feedback is critical for the Noyce Program Evaluation

Dear [NAME],

We are following up on our previous email inviting you to participate in an evaluation of the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (the Noyce Program). We know you are busy, and we appreciate your consideration of providing your perspective as a crucial part of the success and impact of the evaluation.

WhitworthKee Consulting (WKC) was contracted as a third party by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to evaluate components of the Noyce Program. You are receiving this email because of your commitment to your Noyce project as a Principal Investigator (PI).

If you agree to participate in the evaluation, you will first be asked to complete a questionnaire that asks about you, your educational and professional experiences, and your involvement with the Noyce Program (estimated time commitment: 20 minutes). Later, between Fall 2024 and Summer 2025, you may receive information about participating in an interview where you will be invited to provide your perspectives on STEM teacher preparation/leadership and the Noyce Program. We may also ask you to forward information about the evaluation to colleagues from your Noyce project so that we can learn from their perspectives as well.

If you choose to participate, we will do everything we can to keep your responses confidential, and we will not share individually identifiable information with anyone (including NSF staff or other Noyce project members) outside of the WKC Evaluation Team.

If you would like to participate in the evaluation, please use the following link to complete the demographic questionnaire at your earliest convenience: [LINK]

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected] or reply to this message.

Again, we appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing your perspectives.

Sincerely,

The WhitworthKee Consulting Evaluation Team
