DETAILED INFORMATION
     PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The work environment of teachers has long been characterized by isolation. Most teachers are separated from colleagues as they work alone in their classrooms with groups of academically diverse students. The purpose of the study is to better understand what good colleagueship is in terms of the collaborative behaviors demonstrated during the work of good colleagueship, the environment in which good colleagueship flourishes, and the cultural mindset that promotes good colleagueship in schools.
     PROCEDURES After reading this Information Statement, you may decide to give consent to participate in the Qualtrics survey or decide to exit the survey. The survey is anonymous and should take you about 10 minutes to complete. Results from the survey will be stored on a password-protected KU server that requires two-factor authentication for access. Results from the study will be shared in a summary format. *It is possible, however, with internet communications, that through intent or accident someone other than the intended recipient may see your response.
     RISKS There are no risks to your health and well-being. One potential risk is that you will devote time to completing the survey and not find the experience meaningful at a personal level.
     BENEFITS There are no anticipated individual benefits to participating in the study, but there are societal benefits to allowing participant data to be shared for research purposes. Indirect potential benefits to society include sharing with other educators about your perceptions about collegiality among secondary science and social studies educators, characteristics and behaviors of good colleagues, and the benefits of colleagueship in schools, which may also be used for other school improvement efforts to the benefit of students.
