Hello colleagues. I need about 1,000 teachers to complete this brief 5-minute survey for my doctoral dissertation. Any current or former teachers/instructors at any level can participate (from Pre-K to Higher Education). Please help me by completing this survey about teacher burnout, workplace obstacles, and intention to remain in practice. It is completely anonymous! Helping a fellow educator is a great way to show some teacher love right now.
It's a big ask, but would you mind sharing this with your teacher friends?
Thank you in advance for helping and forwarding this message along to your colleagues.

As part of TLC's Author Series made possible by Alabama Humanities Alliance, Lisa McNair joined in a discussion of her book "Dear Denise: Letters To The Sister I Never Knew" led by Adrienne Marshall, Director of Adult Literacy Programs at TLC.
Lisa McNair was born in 1964, one year after her older sister, Denise, was murdered in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. "Dear Denise" is a collection of forty letters from Lisa addressed to the sister she never knew, but in whose shadow of sacrifice and lost youth she was raised. These letters offer an intimate look into the life of a family touched by one of the most heinous tragedies of the Civil Rights Movement. Thank you for sharing your story, Lisa!
