Dear Study Participate:

My name is Sakou Locke and I am a graduate student seeking my Master’s Degree in the Department of Workforce Education and Development at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The research I am conducting is titled, “The Disappearance of the Male Teacher: An Analysis of the Absence of the Male Teacher in the Classroom.” This research is conducted under the supervision of Dr. Marcia Anderson in the Department of Workforce Education and Development. 

The intent of this letter is to gain your voluntary participation. The purpose of this study is to contribute to knowledge regarding problems and deterrents faced by men teaching elementary education. Through this study these deterrents will be addressed and bring a greater awareness to the issues that plague the slow extinction of the male teacher.  Completion of the survey indicates voluntary consent to participate in this study.

This survey will take 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The interview will consist of the same survey questions with the amount of time required subject to surveyor response. All responses will be kept confidential. I will have the only access to the surveys and will take all reasonable steps to protect your identity.

Any questions regarding this study can be directed to me or my supervising professor Dr. Marcia Anderson, Department of Workforce Education and Development, SIUC, Carbondale, IL 62901.
