OSSTF/FEESO is encouraging teacher and occasional teacher members to participate in a new research study on inclusive education and supporting students with giftedness.

Researchers from the University of British Columbia are exploring educators’ experiences, instructional practices, challenges, and professional learning needs related to supporting advanced learners in classrooms across Canada.

The study aims to:
✔️ Identify professional learning opportunities and promising practices
✔️ Support stronger alignment between inclusive education policies and classroom realities

Participation includes a voluntary 15–20 minute online survey, with an optional follow-up Zoom interview.
