    NAEYC supports research efforts and other initiatives from individuals and outside organizations that advance the early childhood profession and the young children it serves.  Hello's Code of Conduct requires that individuals who want to use Hello to disseminate surveys or recruit research/interview subjects need to have these requests approved by NAEYC. These requests should be submitted through this form and will be considered by NAEYC on a case-by-case basis. If approved, NAEYC will disseminate the research request or informational report through an appropriate NAEYC channel, which might include a NAEYC newsletter, HELLO or an interest forum. Following is an approved request.
    Dear Early Childhood Educators:

    We are inviting you to participate in a research study examining the ways in which LGBTQ+ content is included in early childhood education. If you are interested in participating or learning more about the study, please click on the following, http://ku.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7a3cSsxbmuXsj2K. The survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete.

    We are trying to examine the beliefs of typical teachers, so please be honest in the information you share.  All survey information will be kept confidential and no identifying information about you or your program will be collected. Feel free to forward this invitation on to other teachers who may be interested in participating in this research.  If you have any questions, or are unable to access the survey, please contact the principal investigator, Sam McSpiritt ( mcspiris@kean.edu ) or the faculty advisor, Dr. Keri Giordano ( KGiordan@kean.edu )
