You just had an amazing interview for a position to be an institutional researcher at a university. The project you could be involved in is a K-12 Gifted and Talented program in the Department of Education. You interviewed with Dr. Lowry and Dr. Segal. Before going into the interview you knew a lot about their programs. They offer enrichment courses at the university, and also in online forums where students from around the world may collaborate in courses. Your role would be in their Child Find area, where you would use your statistics degree to assess students for the purpose of identifying those who are gifted. You have researched the methodologies used, and had the opportunity to ask your interviewers what assessment tools they use to identify students. You asked how they identify
students who have emotional disabilities and who speak English as a second language. The interviewers liked your questions and mentioned that they were looking for someone with experience in using alternative assessment tools to capture these populations in their program. You offered your experiences from graduate school, and you and the interviewers had a great dialogue learning from each other. You left the interview in a very upbeat manner and thanked them for sharing their working knowledge and experience with you, and you would look forward to hearing from them. They said they thought you were a strong candidate and would be in touch with you by the end of the week, should you be called in for a second interview to meet some of your potential colleagues. Based on this interview, write a thank-you note.
