Florida's Academically Challenging Curriculum to Enhance Learning statute (2012) established minimum requirements for local education agencies to provide accelerated curriculum to eligible K-12 students. This session shares a content analysis of acceleration documents that examines the status of policies, the accessibility of information across districts, and policy elements that support equity.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss elementary acceleration policies that support equity and transparency and policies that may create barriers for students with advanced learning needs.
Examine ways that access to acceleration policy information can support equity and transparency.
Establish or refine acceleration policies and practices guided by findings and exemplars from this study, NAGC standards, and best practices.
