(2016) states "the current K-12 education system essentially ignores the learning needs of a huge percentage of its students." In certain cases, the need for accelerated programs is required. Acceleration advances the learning of students through educational programs that progress at a rate faster or at an age younger than typical. ]]> 2021-11-10 17:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1882044119 plumeeli https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1882051783 According to Warne (2017), studies show that the potential benefits of acceleration could last into adulthood and these children will become productive adults. ]]> 2021-11-10 17:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1882051783 plumeeli https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1882056578 2021-11-10 17:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1882056578 plumeeli https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1884579273 Davidson Institute.

This could include students entering prior to the minimum age for school entry. Additionally, this could include skipping kindergarten and entering school as a 1st grade student. Maryland has guidelines in place for age for school attendance.

Most often, this could include early entrance to middle school, high school, or college. Decisions to grade skip a student must be made by a team of professionals using multiple data points.

The time saved by making these adaptations can be used for more advanced content instruction or other enrichment opportunities. It is important to note that curriculum compacting does not necessarily result in advanced grade placement.]]> 2021-11-11 16:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1884637793 plumeeli https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1884644920 2021-11-11 16:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1884644920 plumeeli https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1884663065 2021-11-11 16:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1884663065 plumeeli https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1884673615 Extracurricular activities are optional for students and occur after school or over the summer.

This most commonly occurs in middle and high school. Some examples include:
*A student taking algebra in middle school can earn credit at both the middle and high school.
*A student in high school can take college-level courses taught by specially trained high school teachers. If the student successfully completes the course, they earn credit at both the high school and the college.]]> 2021-11-11 16:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/plumeeli/zdo998u79ic0jm5t/wish/1884685936
