Survey Space Information (Spring 2018) 

Teachers and other educators are being recruited to fill out an anonymous Qualtrics survey about their experience(s). If interested, he or she can also participate in an online asynchronous discussion group (anonymously or not) on Piazza.com or Facebook; and can also attend a live video meeting on Zoom (could also attend anonymously by creating an account with a pseudonym and not turning on the video).

Anonymous Survey on Qualtrics:     (Begins about Feb. 1, 2018)

https://uwmadison.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2hp1yGZ7B6Occnz

The questionnaire will focus on critical incidents and lived experiences of K–12 teachers vis-à-vis displaced and refugee students, disseminated through teacher newsletters and lists in three languages for the three sites. We anticipate up to 450 respondents, aiming for approximately similar numbers of elementary, middle and high school teachers to get a balanced overview of teacher perceptions in the various settings. The questionnaire will allow us to understand the needs of the teachers and their experiences. It will follow the patterns of the face-to-face interview guide in collecting narratives of experience and stimulating feedback.

So You Think You Can Stay is a parody of the worldwide well known TV show So You Think You Can Dance. The Norwegian Organization for Asylum Seekers (NOAS) wanted to raise awareness about asylum seekers that are often rejected for the same reasons as shown in the campaign. The contestants in the campaign are fictitious people, but their stories are based on real asylum cases taken on by NOAS.
“We want to show the stories of some of those who fled to Norway in our talent show. We will present people like Amir, who based on our experience, should be granted residence permit in Norway, but nevertheless has had his asylum application refused,” says Mari Seilskjær, advisor in NOAS.
