Thoughts on Acceleration
"Acceleration is really about letting students soar. Acceleration is a strategy that respects individual differences and acknowledges the fact that some of these differences merit educational flexibility. It provides cumulative educational advantage."
~A Nation Deceived

To read more about acceleration and its place in gifted education, download A Nation Deceived.
"The overwhelming research evidence in favor of acceleration makes the intervention a highly valued option for all schools. The evidence is compelling that for highly motivated gifted students acceleration must be an option; therefore, all schools need to have written policies that allow the possibility of the various forms of acceleration as an academic intervention for carefully selected high ability students."
~Dr. Nicholas Colangelo in Guidelines for Developing an Academic Acceleration Policy
