When is Acceleration the Best Decision?

Presenter: Kim Lansdowne


Is acceleration right for gifted students? What resources are available to help me make the best decision? How do I advocate for a student when acceleration is the best option?

This session will cover the answers to these questions and more! High ability students have unique academic, cognitive and social needs. Many bright students need more academic challenge than they are receiving in their educational environment. Acceleration is “progress through an educational program at rates faster or at ages younger than conventional” (Pressey, 1949) and is one of the most effective and research-based interventions for the academic growth of gifted children.
