Dear Student,
San Francisco University High School is going to be part of a research study associated with the Challenge Success project in the School of Education at Stanford University. You are invited to participate in this study. The researchers are interested in learning about students’ social, emotional, and physical well-being, their educational goals and their views on the academic climate and expectations at their school and at home. We are also studying how student leaders may participate in enacting change related to academic stress in their school.
Here is what you are being asked to participate in:
(1) 1 possible survey this year.
(2) A survey in future years if the school continues participation in the research project.
The survey will be conducted at your school. The survey will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
There are no risks to your involvement in the study, and the benefits may be that results from the study will provide insight into decreasing academic stress and fostering greater student voice in school. We cannot and do not guarantee or promise that you will receive any benefits from this study. There will be no payment for participation in this study.
