Hi everyone,
This week, the Research Team and I presented a paper based on the original large survey of parents (N=627) at NASP (National Association of School Psychologists.) It was a nostalgic moment for me because Laura, who authored the original survey with me when she was a "new student" is the same Laura who is collecting data on these Boards for her dissertation now. Mary, who cleaned and helped me do the original analysis, was also in the audience as a "senior" doctor student, also working on her dissertation. The actual presenters were newer students, who worked on this particular presentation, but had nothing to do with the original activities--some of them probably were still in high school (!) when we wrote the survey. My newest doctor student graduated from h.s. the same year as MrNo...she seems younger than he does
I am posting the Power Point as a WORD doctor and the accompanying tables for your "light" reading enjoyment. Seriously, this year in comparison to past years, was very warmly received and we were not the ONLY presentation representing the parental viewpoint.
I want to post this because although I have posted results before in WORD format, I thought you might like to see how research is presented via PPT at a national convention. My reasons for doing this are not altogether altruistic:
LAURA HAS ABOUT ONE MORE WEEK TO INCREASE HER SAMPLE SIZE!!!
More of you have started the survey than have finished it. It is not like the original survey (which took much time and patience to complete.) PLEASE complete Laura's survey if you have not done so. She needs an N=200, and right now, she has about 100. In an ideal world, every survey question would "fit" your situation. It a question doesn't work for you, SKIP IT rather than stopping.
Finally, I don't want to sound like an old nag, but you cannot fairly complain about professional neglect of our children if you won't give 20 minutes of your time to one of the brightest students I have had in years.
If you have general questions, post them and I will try to answer them.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Martie
P.S.
I had difficulty uploading and now the thread does not want to accept the accompanying "Tables" file. I have been trying to share this with you for several days, so I am going to hope this will be accessible, and if you want the Tables, I will try to post them also
