Guidelines for Developing an Academic Acceleration Policy

Compiled by members of a National Work Group on Acceleration representing the Institute for Research and Policy on Acceleration (IRPA), the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), and the Council of State Directors of Programs for the Gifted, this document is meant to provide guidance and to encourage the systematic adoption and practice of acceleration in schools across the nation. The Guidelines document can assist schools in writing and modifying acceleration policy that is suited to local needs and adheres to research-based best practices.

This is a great tool for parents, educators, and school administrators who are looking to build a policy on acceleration, as well as learn more about the different types of acceleration available. I really found this resource to be helpful and practical because they specifically site the research that supports acceleration and it isn’t too long for individuals to read. This resource is user friendly and very informative.
