Accelerated Learning: What teachers need to know.

Title: 

               Accelerated Learning: What do teachers of academically able students need to know about acceleration?

Abstract:

According to Preckel et al, (2024), “acceleration measures are attempts to create a better fit between the student’s level of competence and the teaching offered by the school.” Acceleration measures are considered to be the best-studied and best documented support measures for gifted children and are amongst the most effective school interventions open to teachers for achievement development; based on Hattie’s (2009) synthesis of meta-analyses on questions of instructional and schooling effectiveness in relation to academic achievement.
