Good Morning,

I am conducting my doctoral dissertation research on the educational 
experiences of B/VI students in different NJ public schools, and I am 
seeking parents to interview for the study.  I am particularly in need of 
diverse parents from urban school districts. Please consider sharing the 
letter pasted below with parents in your network who might be interested in 
participating. I am excited about this research the contribution that it can 
make to the field of blindness/visual impairment education. Thank you, in 
advance, for helping to get this information out to potential research 
participants. Please let me know if you have any questions about my 
research. Thank you! - Monique

Greetings,
My name is Monique Coleman, and I am a doctoral student in the Educational 
Theory, Policy, and Administration Department at the Rutgers University 
Graduate School of Education. I am a certified Teacher of the Visually 
Impaired, and I am conducting a research study about the educational 
experiences of blind/vision impaired students in different New Jersey public 
schools.
For this study, I am seeking to interview parents of visually impaired 
students in grades 3-12. Parents who choose to participate will be asked to 
sign a consent form and participate in a 45-60-minute telephone interview.
Participation in this study is completely voluntary, and all interview 
responses will be anonymous.  Parents who participate will be given an 
identification number, and their data will not be linked to their identity, 
thus protecting their confidentiality and the anonymity of their responses. 
Participants will receive a $25 gift card for completing the interview.
Parents of blind/visually impaired students of diverse cultural, racial, and 
economic backgrounds are needed for this study.  If you, or someone you 
know, may be interested in participating or have questions about this 
research, please contact me at monique at vistaseducation.com or 201-349-5074.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
