A Nation Deceived
In 2004, The John Templeton Foundation sponsored a report titled A Nation Deceived: How Schools Hold Back America's Brightest Students. This national report highlighted the disparity between the research on acceleration and the educational beliefs and practices that often run contrary to the research. The publication of A Nation Deceived has resulted in a national conversation about acceleration and gifted students. The founding of IRPA is a strong testament to the impact of A Nation Deceived and to the need for continuing research, information, and policy initiatives on acceleration.
