From EvaluationWiki
The following is an invitation format in the right column along with a simple example in the left column. This invitation format is based on Dillman (2000)[1] and may be used to invite participants to take a survey, participate in a focus group, agree to an observation, etc.
| The Request | School District X is partnering with {our institution} to understand and provide better accommodations for special needs students in Science and Math. As part of this work, we are conducting focus groups of high school science and math teachers. |
|---|---|
| Why you were selected | Since you teach either science or math at the high school level and have experience with students with disabilities, you are the best person to provide insight into accommodations that help students with disabilities learn. |
| Usefulness of survey (focus group, interview, etc.) | The information from this round of focus groups will inform the design and development of training material for high school math and science teachers who teach students with disabilities. |
| Schedule a time (if it's an interview, observation, or focus group) | We will conduct three focus groups during the second week in March on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Please respond to this email to let me know which focus group you will be attending. |
| Confidentiality | Your responses during the focus group will be confidential meaning that your name will not be associated with anything you say. |
| Token of Appreciation | As a token of our appreciation for your effort, we will provide you with a $50 stipend for participating in the focus group. |
| Willingness to answer questions | If you have any questions for comments about this study, we will be happy to talk with you. Our telephone number is {xxx-xxx-xxxx}, or you may contact Your Name (your.name@greatplacetowork.edu) or Colleague's Name (colleague.name@greatplacetowork.edu). |
