Webb, Ph.D. Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:50:17 +0000 http://hannavock.alfahosting.org/wordpress/?p=528#comment-362 Do the authors of this make any mention of the Iowa Acceleration Scale: A Guide for Whole-Grade Acceleration Grades K-8, developed by professors Susan Assouline and Nick Colangelo? This scale, which is based on more than ten years of nationwide research, is successfully used by schools in every state in the U.S., as well as in Canada, Australia, and other countires., and it is based on research that identifies the factors related to successful early entrance or whole-grade skip. As far as I can tell, it is the only systematic, reearch-based way to decide whether or not to accelerate a child by a whole grade, and I would recommend that the authors consider integrating that information, if it is not already there.
