My name is Jessica Swann-Kreter, and I am an Assistant Research Professional in the Center for Education Through Exploration at Arizona State University. Partnered with colleagues from the National Earth Science Teachers Association and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, I am conducting a study to better understand the current landscape of K–12 Earth and Space Science (ESS) education in the United States. The survey explores how ESS is taught, the supports and barriers educators experience, and educators’ interests in professional learning, mentoring, leadership, and networking opportunities. Findings may inform future programs, resources, and funding initiatives designed to strengthen ESS teaching and learning nationwide.

You are eligible to participate if you are a K–12 classroom educator who teaches Earth and Space Science topics. The survey will take approximately 10–15 minutes. Participation is voluntary. You may skip any question or stop participating at any time without penalty.
You may not receive a direct personal benefit from participating. However, your responses may contribute to a better understanding of educator needs and help guide future professional learning, mentoring, leadership, networking, and funding opportunities. There are no foreseeable risks or discomforts associated with participation.

Data will be stored on password-protected, ASU-approved systems and will be accessible only to authorized research personnel. Survey findings will be reported in aggregate, and no individual participant will be identified in reports, presentations, or publications. If you voluntarily provide contact information for follow-up or leadership opportunities, it will be used only for those purposes and will not be reported with the survey results.

De-identified survey data may be retained and used for future research related to Earth and Space Science education, educator professional learning, mentoring, leadership development, and program evaluation. Future use will not include names, email addresses, or other direct identifiers. Although every effort will be made to protect participant information through secure storage and restricted access, complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed because of the inherent risks of electronic data collection and storage.

If you have questions about the study, please contact Jessica Swann-Kreter at [email protected]. If you have questions about your rights as a research participant or believe you have been placed at risk, contact the Chair of the Human Subjects Institutional Review Board through the ASU Office of Research Integrity and Assurance at (480) 965-6788.
