We are reposting a request (below) made about a month ago by Ramon Lewis -
from Australia, regarding a questionnaire he would like teachers to fill in.
In addition, we are putting up two relevant chapters (one chapter that he
has already published, and the other chapter in preparation), which can be
found on the ETNI site at -

Dear Fellow teachers,
Those of you who attended the July ETAI conference in Jerusalem
would know that I presented there research conducted in Australia,
Israel and China
(see article - http://www.etni.org/teachers/ramon/strategies.doc ).
Together with some Israeli and Chinese colleagues, I am using the
research to develop appropriate Professional Development sessions
for teachers. While in Israel, I have twice had the opportunity to conduct
some in-service sessions for English speaking staff in schools.
They seemed well received so I am hoping that my area of research
and teaching seems relevant to your needs. The research and in-service
programs aim to assist staff who are making too much use of
counterproductive classroom discipline strategies like yelling in anger,
name-calling and sarcasm, and according to the teachers surveyed,
there are substantial numbers in both Australia and Israel.
Teachers who use any of these strategies find the experience
stressful, not particularly helpful, but hard to prevent.
The current stage of my investigations involve examining why teachers
think they, or colleagues, use counterproductive discipline strategies
like yelling in anger and sarcasm, and what sort of support would be
required to reduce the frequency of such teacher behaviour in schools.
While at ETAI 30 teachers completed my current survey
http://www.etni.org/teachers/ramon/questionnaire.doc
and I have been given permission to approach you via the ETNI website.
I am hoping you will devote approximately 10 minutes of your time to
help move the research forward and to help shape the nature of
professional development programs to be offered both in Israel and
Australia.
All you would need to do is log in, download the questionnaire
http://www.etni.org/teachers/ramon/questionnaire.doc
and submit to r.lewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I thank you in advance. As an incentive I will return email a draft chapter
from a new book to be published in 2007, outlining a range of useful
management strategies. If you find the material and questionnaire of
interest please let your colleagues know.
Ray
