Consent

By initialing to each section below you agree to the following:

I agree to provide one of the following: (1) A briefing to the teachers and staff on the results of the research; (2) A workshop or seminar related to the research results that could help improve instruction; and (3) A final report. The researcher will consult with the principal at the conclusion of the research to determine the feedback format most preferred by the school faculty.

I agree to acknowledge the specific University of Memphis School as the site of this research in publications and/or presentations and provide an electronic copy of published or presented material to the building principals which may be disseminated by the school and/or hosted online.

I understand that my proposed timeline and proposal may need to be altered to coordinate with the needs of the students and faculty of the school. I understand that my role as a researcher must not interfere with or impact the educational mission of the school or the experience of its students. I agree to keep strictly confidential all school student records to which I may have access. I further stipulate that any report of my results will be written so that the individual student data are not identifiable.

I acknowledge that failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the loss of research privileges in the University Schools.
