Description
Over the past year, members of a National Work Group on Acceleration developed a comprehensive document, "Guidelines for Developing an Academic Acceleration Policy," to assist schools in writing and modifying acceleration policy that is suited to local needs and adheres to research-based best practices. Led by one of the preeminent leaders in the study of acceleration, this webinar will provide an overview of:
categories, forms and types of acceleration
recommended elements of an acceleration policy
the research support for acceleration
a checklist for successful implementation
Designed for principals, administrators, state advocates and educators, this program will not only provide a comprehensive overview, it will give you instructions on how to access and implement the guidelines free of charge!
