Hello,
My name is Melanie Smith, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Phoenix. My dissertation is called "A Case Study of Preschool Directors' Best Practices for Teacher Retention." The goal of this study is to discover preschool director's expert techniques for retaining staff. I would like to interview preschool directors who work at (or who have previously worked at) a NAEYC accredited preschool. The expected duration of the interview will be approximately 30 minutes. To indicate your interest in participating in this research study, please complete the following survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZHYNLHH
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Melanie Smith (researcher)
