Subject: Permission to use your name in a publication

 

Hi Mike,

 

About a year ago, I interviewed you about some ways that you use technology in your teaching of mathematics.  We are now preparing a publication for the NWP, one of several that will come out of that study.  This one is a policy brief that will go to federal legislators and others.  I want to include the following paragraph, with your name attached as it is.  You are one of three teachers we want to feature (yea!)–one in math, one in reading, one in science, all from different states.  The paragraph will seem all-too-simple, compared to all that you told me, but it will be very helpful and eye-opening to policy-makers.  I’m especially hoping you will give permission because the major sponsor of the NWP’s Tech Initiative was Senator Jay Rockefeller, and it will be nice that a vignette comes from his state.  Can you let me know “yes or no” right away?  And if something in this paragraph rubs you the wrong way, please let me know that too!  For example, the last sentence could read (if true):  Mike would use technology more, but there will be no computers in his classroom until the new college campus is constructed.

 

Many thanks,

Laura
