PHD research – interested in helping out?
“Hello! I’m a former teacher turned PhD student studying the career decisions of early career teachers. I’m looking to speak to current teachers (including trainees) about their career timelines and future ambitions during a 1-hour Zoom call. I’m hoping that understanding the career decisions of teachers will help us make teaching a better place to work.
Past teachers have said they have enjoyed the interview as it’s nice to stop and reflect upon what they’ve done and how far they’ve come.
If you are interested in this here’s a link to a survey to register your interest (it also asks a few demographic questions just for sampling purposes): https://york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8kzSkAOmLt1F6Sy
Hopefully speak to you soon!
Best wishes,
Abby”
