Re: Proposed Research Study:
Voices from the Heart: A Case Study of Family Literacy Practices in One Low-Income Community in New Brunswick
Dear Mrs. XX:
As we discussed recently, I am interested in conducting my doctoral research
in XX . My research proposal has been accepted by the Faculty of
Education at the University of Ottawa and has gone through clearance by
the Ethics
Committee. I am writing at this time to request your endorsement
of my study.
As you are aware, I conducted my pilot study with parents from XX and
XX Schools and I would like to conduct my research now with selected parents
and
staff from the XX School. My data collection with the parents would
be
conducted in their homes. A part of my study would involve classroom
observations and informal interviews with selected teachers in the primary
grades
at
school.
Further details are outlined in the attached a copy of my research
proposal.
I look forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience. I
may be reached at (506) XXX-XXXX.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Rubin
Encl.
