Lynn Dare
Applied Psychology
Welcome!
About me: For a long time, I was a stay at home mom. As my children grew older, I returned to school and began a career in research and evaluation. Currently I’m working towards a doctoral degree in applied educational psychology under the supervision of Dr. Elizabeth Nowicki.
About my research: Through my doctoral research, I'm looking at beliefs about educational acceleration for high-ability children.
About acceleration: read an article by the American Psychological Association about acceleration for high-ability children.
Acknowledgement: My research is funded in part through a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Doctoral Fellowship.
