Description
Many educators won’t consider grade skipping because a child doesn’t fit the stereotype of a profoundly gifted student. They’re too immature. He hasn’t memorized his multiplication facts. She hasn’t gotten her period, yet. So, what does a PG child who has successfully navigated radical acceleration look like? How can you tell if early college is the right choice for a gifted student? Blending research from Early Entrance Programs with case studies of specific students, learn from academic histories, test scores, teacher evaluations, and personal student narratives to identify academic and social-emotional indicators that can help guide acceleration choices.
