- Everyone has signed this. Just included here in case needed.
 * 0. Pilot Teacher Agreement**

- This week (Nov 19) have your students read in-class the 'Letter to Students' and take home the 'Letter to Parents'. - BOTH student and parent sign the Student Consent Form. - Make a copy of the consent form for your records. Bring the signed originals to the next Saturday workshop for our team to keep. - Make a clear list of the students who have permission to participate in our study, so that on the day we do classroom observations, we can avoid videotaping any students who do not have permission. - If you were not at Saturday's workshop, please sign the Teacher Consent Form and scan/email or fax to me (847-491-3135)
 * 1. Consent forms + Letters of Explanation of Research**



- Online, 20-25 minutes to complete. - @https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C6HCD5V - Assign to your students by December 1st. - Email Laura due date for your students to complete. - Laura will email you list of names of your students who have completed it, so you can pressure those who haven't. - You will assign the survey a 2nd time at the end of the school year.
 * 2. Student Attitudinal Survey (2x, once at beginning, once at end of year)**

- Use the finalized versions of the lessons, posted here: @http://ct-stem.northwestern.edu/lesson-plans-and-signup/ - Must teach 3 of our CT-STEM lessons by July - Email Laura 10 days before you plan to start teaching a CT-STEM lesson in your classroom with a tentative date. Then email again 5 days before with the definite date/time. - For a subset of the CT-STEM lessons you teach, we will come with audio/video to record. - While you teach, we may pull aside 2-3 students at a time for short (<5 minute) mini-interviews. - After each lesson, fill out post-implementation teacher feedback survey as soon as possible (while still fresh in your mind): @https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XGWWGR8, 5-10 minutes. - If teaching part regular and part honors, fill out the survey twice, to go with each student group type.
 * 3. Teach 3 CT-STEM Lessons**

- After each CT-STEM lesson you teach (ideally within 3 days of the final day of that lesson). - In-class, online, 45 minutes. - @http://ct-stem.northwestern.edu/assess - The assessments cover range in CT skills. Each lesson does not have its own specific CT assessment
 * 4. Assign CT-STEM Assessment After Each Lesson**
