Please read this consent agreement carefully before you decide to participate in the study.

Purpose of the research study: The purpose of the study is to develop a multimedia, multicomponent pedagogical approach designed to help teacher candidates acquire knowledge about and implement evidence-based classroom management practices.   We seek your input to learn how instructors are currently teaching, supervising teacher candidates.

What you will do in the study: You will be assigned to one of three conditions.  One condition requires travel to Charlottesville condition on (January 10^th, 2025).  The other two require work from home.  You will watch a sample teacher video and give the teacher feedback as if they were your trainee.  This will take between 1-3 hours.  You will then receive professional development totaling approximately 6 hours.   You will then give the sample teacher feedback again using what you learn.  This will take between 1-3 hours. 
Then we will ask you to reflect and document on how much time you spent crafting your feedback and other methods you would use in your existing role.

Time required: Your overall time will be approximately 8-12 hours.  This will be more for those assigned to travel to Charlottesville. 

Risks: The interview data in this study will be de-identified; thus, there are no anticipated risks in this study. 

Benefits: There are no direct benefits to you for participating in this research study.  The study may help the research team understand how multimedia vignettes, video analysis, and feedback and coaching help teacher candidates implement various evidence-based practices.

Confidentiality: The information that you give in the study will be handled confidentially. Your information will be assigned a code number. The list connecting your name to this code will be kept in a locked file in an office in Bavaro Hall at University of Virginia. When the study is completed and the data have been analyzed, this list will be destroyed. Your name and the name of your university will not be used in any report.
