Request for Participants to Participate in Secondary Literacy Research

Hello,

My name is Rachelle Savitz, and I am currently working on my doctorate at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, under the direction of Dr. Richard Allington.  My national dissertation study focuses on teachers’ perspectives of the RTI implementation and confidence of the implementation at their schools.  My target audience is anyone that is currently working at the secondary level (grades 6 – 12) with either Tier 1 (General Education classroom) or Tier 2 and Tier 3 literacy intervention.  This survey will take around 10 minutes to complete.  The findings from this survey will allow for discussion to take place from teachers’ points of view regarding their own confidence, and confidence in their school’s implementation of RTI.  


If you would like to provide additional information, please feel free to contact me at rsavitz@vols.utk.edu or 352-215-2454.

Kind regards,
