Flyer titled “Research Participants Needed!” The flyer invites experienced special education teachers in the U.S. to participate in a study about the perceived quality and usability of materials generated by artificial intelligence (AI) for use in special education settings. What? The study involves a survey, sharing instructional materials, participating in a Zoom focus group, and possibly attending a generative AI workshop. Participants will receive gift cards as compensation. Who? Eligible participants must: • Be experienced special education teachers in the U.S. • Hold a special education teaching license or certificate. • Currently or previously teach grades 5–8. • Be familiar with science standards. • Be at least 18 years old. How to Participate: Interested individuals are directed to fill out a survey at http://bit.ly/3GaAvdx and can email the Principal Investigator, Danielle Waterfield, at dla9ck@virginia.edu with questions. At the bottom, it lists the IRB: UVA School of Education and Human Development IRB-SBS Protocol #7623. The flyer is decorated with a gradient blue-to-orange background, icons of gears, a globe, and a cartoon illustration of a person using a laptop labeled “AI.”
