Teaching · For Teachers

Know who you may interview before you press record.

Log each participant’s forms as they come back. The organizer says who is cleared, what is still missing for everyone else, and who agreed to an interview but not a recording.

signed first, recorded only if agreed
Drawn for this page. Consent is not a single signature; it covers each thing you will do, and it can be taken back.

How to use it

  1. Note the consent form version your IRB approved.
  2. Add each participant by code as their forms return.
  3. For students under 18, log the parent’s permission and the student’s own assent.
  4. Check the cleared list before each interview.
  5. Mark withdrawals the day they happen.

What counts as consent

Permission and assent

Under 45 CFR 46 Subpart D, research with children needs a parent’s permission and, when the child is capable, the child’s own assent. A parent’s signature alone is not enough.

Recording is separate

Agreeing to an interview is not agreeing to be recorded. Ask separately, and take notes instead when someone says no.

What this is not

A place for signed forms. Keep those as your protocol says, apart from your data.
