Description
What types of acceleration are supported by Ministries/Departments of Education in Canada? Policy and resource documents from all Canadian provinces and territories were analysed to get a comprehensive view of the governments’ positions on each of the 17 forms of acceleration identified by the 2009 Workgroup on Acceleration. Substantial differences were found between the provinces and territories in the nature, strength, and extent of support for these accelerative options. These findings enable advocates to locate resources that support their efforts to expand access to accelerative possibilities in locations where they do not exist, in Canada and beyond.
