Abstract
The highly acclaimed publication A Nation Deceived: How Schools Hold Back America’s Brightest Students (Colangelo, Assouline, & Gross, 2004a), is the foundation for this chapter on academic acceleration. Highlighted information from Nation Deceived is presented in three tables; the 20 most important points about acceleration, the 18 forms of acceleration; and a treatment of the myths that surround the general issue of acceleration. The chapter includes a comprehensive discussion of the research supporting the benefits of academic acceleration. Finally, a case study of the decision-making process, which remains difficult for parents and educators – despite the extensive research supporting the benefits of acceleration – is presented as an application of the information provided by the chapter.
