Note from Sarah Hickox of the University of London

I was homeschooled in the USA through 12th grade. I am now a Masters
student at Goldsmiths: University of London. I am studying Drama
and beginning research for my dissertation on the effects of using drama
as a learning tool in homeschooling. I have put together a survey
regarding different ways in which homeschooling families might use drama
(learning through roleplay, community theatre, etc.) I need to gather
respondents quickly. Is it possible for you to share this information with
your homeschooling group or association?

Dissertation on Drama & Homeschooling

Past and present homeschooling families please take the time to
participate in research conducted by Mississippi native and current
University of London student by filling out this online survey. The
research involves the ways that drama can used by homeschooling families
(including learning through roleplay, community theatre, etc.). Even if
you have not participated in theatre this is still valuable information
for the research. **You do not have to be currently homeschooling to take
the survey.**

Please complete this survey at your earliest convenience.

Thank you,
