As previously communicated, ETFO is partnering with University of Ottawa researchers Chris Bruckert and Darcy Santor on the Harassment and Violence in Education (Ontario) Survey.
The survey, launched on December 4th, has so far generated a strong number of responses.
In order to ensure that the researchers receive a viable sample size, we are continuing to encourage members to participate via social media and the ETFO general Enewsletter (another message about it will go out on Tuesday in the Enewsletter). As well, the deadline for the survey has been extended until the end of day on Friday December 21.
Results will be tabulated and a comprehensive report made available to ETFO early in the new year, and the research will be used for public education initiatives.
We encourage you to participate in this important survey ( http://www.edviol.net ).
