Sixth-Grade Parents:

Dear Stakeholder,
My name is Alison Brown, and I am conducting research on effective, rural, middle schools with a 5-6 grade configuration. I hope to determine effective practices that support this particular demographic of schools. In order to support my research, I need your help. You have been identified as one of the key stakeholders in your particular 5-6 grade configuration school as a sixth-grade teacher, counselor, assistant principal, or parent. Your perception is very important to my research and supporting the understanding of what makes your school effective.

The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete.
Please find the Initial Participant Information and Recruitment survey link below to get started.
