  • This study was completed in order to examine how academically gifted adolescents in gifted pull-out programs in rural Northeast Louisiana schools perceived their programs impacting their social and emotional needs and their self-concept. The major focus of the study was on the perceptions of students, parents and teachers in relation to the social and emotional wellbeing of the gifted participants. A qualitative approach was used to collect and analyze data. Over the course of two weeks, interviews were collected from 10 students, nine parents, 10 general education teachers, and three teachers of academically gifted students (n = 32). Students, parents, and teachers from two high schools (one in District 1 and one in District 2) provided answers to open-ended interview questions in order to answer the research questions. The data obtained through the interviews varied regarding the responses of the participants. The attitudes that the students had towards the gifted pull-out programs varied depending on the school that they attended. Students from District 1 responded positively to the interview questions whereas students from District 2 responded more negatively. The parents, for the most part, shared the attitudes and beliefs of their children. Parents whose children attended District 1 were pleased with their children's educational experiences in the gifted pull-out programs. On the other hand, parents whose children attended District 2 were not as pleased with their children's educational experiences in the gifted pull-out programs. The general education teachers were relatively supportive of the gifted pull-out programs and the student participants, although most of them had no background or formal training, such as college courses, to prepare them to differentiate lessons for gifted students. The teachers of academically gifted students seemed excited about their programs and were willing to learn more in order to help their students succeed.
