This week began with the completion of our online infectious disease simulation assignment. On Tuesday, students were given the following challenge, "reduce the spread of infectious diseases at Carroll". Students have begun to develop guiding questions, survey questions, and to brainstorm possible actions that can address this challenge. NC State returned on Thursday to continue their educational research on scale, focusing on scale factors. NC State has asked that we send home a permission letter to parents whose children are not already part of the study, but who are interested in their child becoming a participant. If you agree to allow your child to participate, participation only involves the completion of 3 short surveys during NC State's future visits to Carroll. These NC State permission forms will go home with students next Monday, February 8th (forms will only go home to students who are NOT already part of the study). Please direct all questions regarding the research study to the lead researcher whose contact information is included on the permission form.
