Follow up re: teacher interviews

I sent Nancy some additional follow up questions after our interview, on Wed. 9/1/10. It is now 9/10/10 and I have not heard anything yet. I am ready to type up her transcribed interview today and I plan on emailing it to her by Monday, the 13th so she can check it for accuracy. At that point, I will ask her if Aida has been to class. If she could remind her again to call me on my cell phone number.



I am debating about whether to interview Melinda or not. Today would have been a good day in the afternoon perhaps. But I am not sure if she is working this Friday or next...



I emailed Myra, the Monday ESOL teacher at NOR Library, on Wed. 9/8/10 to introduce my study and to set up an observation and interview with her on Mon. 9/13. She did not respond so I looked her phone number up in the Reference USA database and left her a voicemail. Her husband called me back yesterday, and when I spoke with her for the first half of the conversation, she did not recognize who I was. Then it clicked in (I was trying to conceal our conversation as I was at work in the library), and she supportively agreed to all ow me to observe her and interview her next Monday. She thinks that she has at least one learner who will qualify...



I also emailed Heddy Cuthbertson at Margate yesterday and sent her the Study Invitational letter also. I have not heard from her yet. I need to call her today.



I emailed Carol Russo of HO on Tues. 9/7/10 and she replied on Wed. 9/8 that Sally, the teacher, would be away on Thurs. 10/7, the day I proposed to observe the class and interview Sally. Caol suggested that I choose another day, so I chose Thurs. 10/14 and emailed her that info.
