What is Acceleration

Educational programs for gifted students are varied, with many schools in the United States using a pullout program to address the needs of students. In spite of these programs, unless gifted students are educated in a school dedicated to their educational needs, gifted students will spend the majority of their time in a mainstream classroom. In this environment, gifted students often languish, becoming bored or losing interest in learning. Classroom teachers and teacher preparation programs can address this waste by purposely creating a program to include gifted student.
