G1) Home School Market Research Project
Hello,
As a home educator, we know you want to ensure the most effective teaching materials are available to families. How often can you directly influence what that content looks and feels like? Now you can!
The Grandview Group, a global education research firm, is seeking your assistance in participating in a study evaluating new teaching and learning resources for home school students and their parents. We are contacting hundreds of your home schooling peers across the country and inviting them to share their feedback.
The study will be launched on September 30th and will involve previewing a few modules from the Making Sense for Home Schooling Series. There are modules on mathematics, literacy, and special topics for parents of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers – all delivered in an engaging set of activities and resources. Participants who fully complete the study will be entered to win a Kindle HD.
The study will take approximately 1 hour (60 minutes) to complete and will be sent out to all registered participants on September 30th. It will be due for completion on or before October 4th.
Simply click on the link to register, typing your name, email address, phone, and indicate, "Yes, I wish to participate in this study!" and you will receive a link to the online survey sometime on the 26th of September!
