COVER LETTER FOR MOBILITY QUESTIONNAIRE

[DATE]
[MPR ID]

Dear [Teacher’s name]:
Thank you very much for your participation last school year in the National Evaluation of
Teacher Induction Programs, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education
Sciences. The information gathered is vitally important to better understand what contributes to the
preparation, support, and retention of new teachers.
As part of the evaluation, we are conducting a survey of teachers to find out about their current
employment and job satisfaction. We will use the information collected to analyze the impact of
teacher induction programs. Enclosed is the survey we would like you to complete, which should
take you about 20 minutes. The information you provide through this survey will be kept
strictly confidential. Responses will not be identified by individual or even by school.
Please return your completed Mobility Questionnaire in the next two weeks using the enclosed
postage paid business reply envelope. We will mail you a check for $20 as a thank you for your
continued participation. If you have any questions or concerns about the study or the survey, please
do not hesitate to call me at 609-275-2294 or email me at PNemeth@mathematica-mpr.com.
Thanks again for your cooperation and support of this important research study.

Sincerely,
