On-demand and Live Professional Learning Resources
How do you help a child who clearly needs more advanced instruction when you have limited dollars or staff? How can your school maximize access to a wide range of learning opportunities? What is one of the most widely researched and evidence-based practices in education? Acceleration.
Acceleration is a best practice that promotes educational equity. All children deserve the opportunity to develop their talents, and acceleration in its many forms can help make that possible. The Approaches to Acceleration series provides several on-demand webinars coupled with an optional live virtual applied practice session and resource materials (model policies, tips for practice, etc.) to provide you with easy-to-use content you can implement immediately to dispel myths and remove barriers to a highly effective practice.
Course Module Opens April 15
Gifted education advocates encourage the use of acceleration, and research supports it, but a longstanding barrier has been the belief that social emotional difficulties that might come with a more challenging learning environment outweigh the academic benefits.
