The Participation of Students Who Are Identified as Gifted and Talented in Minnesota's Open Enrollment Option.
Lau, Matthew Y.; And Others
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v17 n3 p276-98 Spr 1994
This study compared 26 students identified as gifted and talented who transferred to nonresident schools through Minnesota's Open Enrollment program with 60 transfer students not so identified. Academic and educational concerns were the main reasons gifted students chose to transfer. Few members of minority groups chose to transfer. Parental educational level was positively correlated with option use. (DB)
