Acceleration Strategies for Teaching Gifted Learners

Acceleration, or the idea that gifted students should be allowed to move more quickly through a subject area, is a practice supported by a wide body of research. However, it can be a challenge to implement. This book focuses on multiple strategies for accelerating gifted children in any school setting. In this concise introduction to the topic, Dr. VanTassel-Baska offers many teacher-friendly ways in which acceleration can be employed in classrooms at all levels and in all subject areas. The author offers specific strategies for identifying candidates for acceleration, programmatic approaches to employ, and teacher strategies to use for content acceleration in the classroom.Karnes, Frances A. is the author of 'Acceleration Strategies for Teaching Gifted Learners ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781593630140 and ISBN 159363014X.
