I鈥檓 currently in the data collection phase of my dissertation, and I would be so grateful for your support in helping spread the word.

The survey is:
- Open to current听U.S. public school elementary principals听with at least one year of experience overseeing听PreK鈥�3rd grade
- Anonymous, takes about听10 minutes, and includes an optional听raffle
- Approved by the听University of Colorado Denver IRB

If you鈥檇 be willing to share this opportunity with others in your network, or if you have ideas for outreach within the SIG, I鈥檇 be incredibly grateful. I鈥檓 aiming for 100 participants and hoping to center the voices of leaders working to uphold joyful, meaningful learning in early education.
Thank you again for your time and for welcoming me into this vibrant scholarly community.
Warm regards,
Sierra Dinges
