1. Parents of Gifted Learners Survey

 
As a field, we in gifted education know surprisingly little about the experiences and opinions of parents of gifted learners. Please help us to learn more about the issues you face! Researchers at Louisiana State University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have developed a survey that we are asking parents of gifted learners to complete. The survey should only take about 15 minutes to complete. By continuing on with the survey you give consent to have your responses used in future research. All responses will be kept confidential and no identifying information will be used. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Jennifer L. Jolly (225) 578-2049 or Dr. Michael Matthews (704) 687-8623 for further information.
