Culturally responsive and sustaining mathematics education in NY
I am conducting a survey and interview study of public K-5 classroom teachers who teach mathematics in New York to learn more about elementary school teachers’ perceptions and experiences of culturally responsive and sustaining education (CRSE), particularly as it applies to mathematics teaching across the state of New York. An important part of the study design is to understand the experiences and opinions of teachers across New York state (upstate, Hudson Valley, Long Island, and NYC). This project has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the City University of New York (CUNY).
Who is eligible to take the survey?
- Any active, full-time teacher at a public elementary school in New York state who teaches math as part of your designation
- Note that you do not have to know anything about CRSE to complete the survey.
- Participating in the survey is completely optional, and you can stop at any time.
School leaders: Please forward this survey link tinyurl.com/CRSMEinNY to your classroom K-5 teachers who teach mathematics in some capacity, or others who may be able to assist in recruiting participants.
Teachers: Please take 15-20 minutes to complete THIS SURVEY.
Compensation: Participants who complete the survey are eligible to receive a $10 Amazon gift card by providing a valid email address at the end of the survey. Responses will be reported in aggregate and will not be attributable to specific individuals.
Additional interview study opportunity
At the end of the survey, participants may also provide a contact email if you are willing to participate in a follow‐up 1-hour interview that will take place via Zoom. This, too, is completely optional. Interview participants will be eligible to receive a $25 Amazon gift card. Alternatively, you can email me at grace.pai@qc.cuny.edu if you would rather only do an interview.
