Teachers,
I need your help to develop a survey about how teachers in all grades and subject areas feel about their ability to teach English language learners (ELLs) in their classroom. You do NOT have to be an ELL/ESL teacher to take this survey. My hope is that with this survey we will be able to more adequately train teachers for working with ELL students in any setting. For more details and the survey link, see below.

My name is Megan Strawsine and I am a graduate student in the School Psychology program at the University of Missouri. I am in the process of collecting data for a study I am leading, advised by Dr. Lisa Flores. If you are a mainstream teacher, pre-service teacher in the United States and at least 18 years old, or post-secondary educator (e.g., University professor, teaching assistant) I am requesting your help by completing an online survey.
The project, Teaching English Language Learners Survey (TELLS): Scale development and validation, will create a formal way to measure how mainstream teachers feel about teaching students whose primary language is not English. Results of this research could lead to great benefits such as improved teacher preparation programs and professional development for teaching English Language Learners in the mainstream classroom.
The offer of an incentive of a $20 gift card to Barnes & Noble will be given to five, randomly selected respondents who have completed the survey. This survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Your participation is completely voluntary and anonymous. Although unlikely, some questions may make you feel uncomfortable. You may stop participating at any time. You may skip or decide not to answer any questions that make you feel uncomfortable.
Your responses are important and we hope that you will agree to participate. However, you are under no obligation to participate if you so choose. If you have questions regarding your rights as a research participant, contact the Campus Institutional Review Board at the University of Missouri-Columbia at (573) 882-9585.
If you are a mainstream teacher, college level educator, or pre-service teacher (student teaching within the next year) you can participate by following the link provided below.
