This document contains two perception surveys about a G.A.T.E (Gifted and Talented Education) program - one for students to rate their teacher and classroom experiences, and one for parents to rate how the teacher communicates and challenges their child. The student survey has 17 questions where they circle if their teacher "Always, Sometimes, or Never" engages in positive teaching practices. The parent survey has 9 questions where they can "Agree, Not Sure, or Disagree" with statements about their child's G.A.T.E teacher and experience. Both surveys collect feedback to evaluate and improve the G.A.T.E program.
