Re: [1873950-4] Literacy, Language, and Social-Emotional Support for English Learners With
and Without Disabilities in Inclusive Settings
Hi Mack,
Good morning! I heard back from our AVP and she did not recommend changing the review
level. We have conducted the pre-review for this submission and included the modifications
requested below. Please be sure to mark the revisions as complete in IRBNet when you are
ready to resubmit the IRBNet package for review.
F-02 Vulnerable Populations Supplement:
Question 1: Please state the age range instead of the grade levels for the participants.
Question 15: Please remove the statement “(other languages may be added based on school
needs) as an additional amendment would need to be submitted with translated parent
permission and assent forms if additional languages are added in the future.
F-11 Form:
Description of changes:
The F-02 form states that the parent permission, consent, and assent forms will be
translated into Swahili and Urdu as well, please add Swahili and Urdu to the list of
languages in the following statement or remove Swahili from the response to question 15 on
the F-02 form:
“Our project can provide support for all English Language Learners with and without
disabilities. Schools that have agreed to work with our project have students whose
native languages are Arabic, Pashto, Farsi/Persian, and Spanish, therefore the translated
parent consent forms need to omit the phrase "To participate, your child's first
language must be Spanish or Spanish is primarily spoken in the home."
Please add a description of all changes being made to existing study documents and list
the study documents being added. For example:
Revised existing Minor Assent Forms (Spanish and English versions) to remove the following
statement:
“In order to participate in this study, your primary language needs to be Spanish.”
Revised existing Adult Student Consent forms (English and Spanish versions) to remove the
following statement:
“To participate in this study, your primary language needs to be Spanish.”
Revised existing Teacher Consent Forms (English version to remove the following
statement:
“The primary language of the English learners must be Spanish.”
Removed Spanish version of the teacher consent form as all teachers are fluent in
English.
Translated the following study documents into Arabic, Pashto, Urdu, Swahili (remove if not
being translated), and Farsi/Persian:
Minor assent form
Adult student consent form
Parent consent forms
