<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">As you may know, KUCRL was awarded a grant from the IES division of the U.S. Department of Education to design a student online learning experience for Possible Selves and combine
this strategy with a self-determination strategy. I am reaching out to see if you know of 1-2 10<sup>th</sup> grade teachers of students with learning disabilities who may want to implement this new version of Possible Selves by participating in the study.
Attached are two information sheets: One that describes the invitation to participate, and one that gives insight on the interventions. Feel free to share this email and the attached overview flyers with anyone who you think may be interested.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The study is designed to improve transition outcomes by providing resources that promote self-identity and self-determination. It proposes to document how these critical areas of
adolescent development improve academic and transition outcomes. We are in year one of the grant which allows for an eight-month recruiting window, so we are on track to conduct a few webinars this later this spring, and then we will officially start the study
in the fall after onboarding teachers with a short series of one-two hour virtual professional development sessions. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Also, below is a brief timeline and description of activities that may be helpful to you. Please let me know if I can answer questions for you, for school administrators, or for
potential 10<sup>th</sup> grade teachers. Also, please note the webinar next week to talk about how best to begin the implementation part of the study.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Depending on how the virus behaves, we have a few options for moving forward. One includes the opportunity to get underway this fall as planned if your district plans permit. Additional
options (starting the project in 2021 or starting with some schools in 2020 and adding others in subsequent years) are under consideration with the federal Department of Education. </span><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#7030A0">We will
be discussing this on a webinar and would value your best thinking on what will work well for your staff and students. Please let me know which date and time will work best for you to attend via Zoom: May 14 @ 2:00 PM Central time or May 19@ 8 AM Central time,
and we will send you an invite.</span></b><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The great news about this project is that the content lends itself well to be delivered as online activities for your teachers and students, so if we aren’t back to normal operations
in the fall, it can still be a meaningful, yet easy option to implement for all types of learners. All in all, the project is currently non-intrusive. That is, researchers are not in your schools, project assessment is all online, and professional development
and coaching are all virtual. Also, teachers and student access much of the material online.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

grade, and year 5 we will follow up with their post-graduation transition.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
