Individuals interested in conducting research with SSD should read:
Supplemental Resources for Applicants:
All applicants must complete the Application to Conduct Research with SSD and also submit the supplemental documents requested therein.
In addition to the application, those applying to conduct research as part of a degree program (e.g., dissertation and thesis research, action research projects required for a graduate-level course, etc.) must complete and submit a Student-Advisor Checklist (Microsoft Word).
It is important to review the procedures and application carefully to ensure that you have addressed all required areas and clearly outlined how the appropriate level of consent will be requested from students and parents where necessary.
Note: Special School District is attempting to minimize non-essential paperwork requirements on teachers and thus requests involving surveying teachers may be declined on this basis. Ideally, requests to conduct research should be submitted prior to or near the outset of the school year the research is expected to occur. Requests received mid-year maybe rejected if they do no allow sufficient time for review, recruitment, data collection, and other coordination requirements.
