Recruiting participants for my dissertation. Please share! Link to eligibility survey: bit.ly/3GaAvdx

Flyer titled “Research Participants Needed!” The flyer invites experienced special education teachers in the U.S. to participate in a study about the perceived quality and usability of materials generated by artificial intelligence (AI) for use in special education settings.

What?
The study involves a survey, sharing instructional materials, participating in a Zoom focus group, and possibly attending a generative AI workshop. Participants will receive gift cards as compensation.

Who?
Eligible participants must:
• Be experienced special education teachers in the U.S.
• Hold a special education teaching license or certificate.
• Currently or previously teach grades 5–8.
• Be familiar with science standards.
• Be at least 18 years old.

How to Participate:
Interested individuals are directed to fill out a survey at http://bit.ly/3GaAvdx and can email the Principal Investigator, Danielle Waterfield, at dla9ck@virginia.edu with questions.

At the bottom, it lists the IRB: UVA School of Education and Human Development IRB-SBS Protocol #7623. The flyer is decorated with a gradient blue-to-orange background, icons of gears, a globe, and a cartoon illustration of a person using a laptop labeled “AI.”

The flyer features a colorful image of a tree made of multicolored circles and two tilted polaroid-style images—one showing the journal cover and the other a “Table of Contents” listing six article titles. The flyer encourages readers to explore the collaboration between the TED Policy Committee and the journal, with articles available in text and podcast form.
