In November I took a look at depression in the workplace and how the app, Headspace, could help with the impacts of and managing this depression. While this research was not taken anywhere, there is a lot of potential for incorporating this technology in the workforce. In order to present this technology to any corporation for implementation, it has to be proven to work. While the owners of Headspace have done studies proving its benefits, I wanted to take a look at how it could impact a specific population. In this infographic, we look at using an experimental model for implementing Headspace into a population of workers facing signs of depression. This infographic shows the stages of this experiment, starting with the background of who the participants are and how they will be broken into two random groups, what the intervention will entail, how the collected data will be analyzed, and how it will be shared.
It is important to note that the data collected from this experiment will need to be analyzed with a critical eye and taking into account the makeup of the participants. Because everyone will have different outside factors contributing to their mental state during the extent of the experiment, these each need to be accounted for throughout and after the experiment.

The world is full of so many questions and relatively few solutions. These past few weeks I have been working to answer (to the best of my ability) one of these stumping questions: why are teachers leaving the classroom? Particularly, I wanted to look at why teachers were leaving the classroom and finding positions in the Ed Tech industry. In this presentation I outline the importance of this question, what my research found, what these findings mean, and how you can play a part in helping teachers. It is important to note that only a very small population (6 people in total) completed this survey. While my findings hold meaning and align with other studies related to this topic, no conclusions should be drawn based on this data alone. In order to fully understand the roots of the teacher transition phenomenon and its possible solutions, a larger sample population would need to participate.
That being said, the results of this study still hold importance and led me to the creation of this flier. The flier is intended to inform communities and those unfamiliar with the teacher transition phenomenon of what is going on in this world and how they can help. This flier is free to use, adapt, distribute, remix, and build upon in any medium or format, and my hope is that you share it with your communities in any way you see fit! This could include sending it home with students, emailing to parents, posting it on facebook, or sharing/ retweeting on twitter. |
