Dear Teachers,
I hope that this email finds you well. We are writing to ask you to participate in a research study titled, “Teacher Preparedness in Addressing Cyberbullying: Impact of Stress, Self-Efficacy, and COVID-19.” The purpose of this study is to learn about how the COVID-19 pandemic has been a source of stress for teachers and understand teachers’ experiences with remote learning. This study will also investigate teachers’ perception of cyberbullying and how remote learning may have impacted cyber-bullying at school.
In order to understand these issues, we are asking for teachers working in public middle and high schools (5-12 grades) to complete a brief survey. The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. Your participation in this survey is voluntary and your responses will be anonymous. If you decide to participate, you will have the option to include your email address at the end of the survey to receive a $5 gift card to Amazon, Target, Walmart, or Starbucks to thank you for your participation in this study. You must complete at least 80% of survey items in order to receive a gift card.
This study has been approved by the UBSTUDY00004949 and the MSU IRB-FY20-21-1970.

EdReports, is a national non-profit organization that works to ensure all students have access to high-quality instructional materials. We do this through a two-pronged approach: (1) providing technical support to states and districts in the adoption of instructional materials and (2) hosting a clearinghouse of educator-reviewed curricula on our website in math, ELA, and science.
Currently EdReports has received a grant from the Overdeck Family Foundation to support New Jersey districts in identifying quality, aligned instructional materials in K-8 math. Through the grant funding, EdReports will be able to provide direct technical support to NJ districts on K-8 math instructional materials adoptions through a series of workshops designed with the district. Through this grant we are looking to support districts that are undergoing an adoption process in the next year.
Do you know of any districts that would be interested in working with EdReports on their adoption, or anyone in New Jersey that we should connect with? If so, please email Teresa Eliopoulos at TEliopoulos@edreports.org
