Learning Survey - Earn up $45 in Amazon Gift Cards


Dear Special Education Teachers:


We are developing a social and emotional learning survey, specifically designed to assess students with learning disabilities - and we would be grateful for your help.


To participate, you will respond to questions that measure the social and emotional learning of up to three of your students with learning disabilities. We will not be collecting information that would identify your school or your students.


For each student that you assess, you will earn a $15 Amazon gift card. Each assessment should take approximately 15 minutes. You can evaluate up to three students, which would result in a $45 Amazon gift card - this should take approximately 45 minutes.


You may select ‘skip question’ for any survey item.


Here is the link for the survey: SURVEY LINK - 


If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Amber DeBono at adebono@winstonprep.edu
