TITUS is a study about teachers' time use and the emotions teachers experience while working.

Please remember that only classroom teachers from our partner districts can sign up for the study. Participating teachers will receive a stipend of up to $190. 

In October 2019 we conducted TITUS orientation meetings in your district. If you could not make it to one of the meetings or would like to learn more about TITUS please watch this short video.

Signing Up

To participate in TITUS you must first sign up by completing two steps. 

Step 1: You must have received an email from Nathan R. Jones. Please click on the link provided in that email to review the study description, consent to participate, provide your contact information, and choose your dates for participating. 

Step 2: Please install a free app on your phone following the instructions you will receive by email after completing Step 1 and choose participation dates that are within your district's range (see below). 

You will be signed up only when both steps 1 and 2 are completed.
