Acceleration

=**Acceleration**=

North Carolina and NHCS give administrators the right to grade and place students. Seeing a need for guidance in making these decisions, the AIG program adopted the[| Iowa Acceleration Scale] and created a Subject Acceleration Checklist to assist schools. These documents can be used with students that are identified or not identified for AIG. They are meant to promote meaningful discussion and evaluation of the whole child when deciding if acceleration is appropriate. The Iowa Acceleration Scale is copyright protected, but a link with more information is provided below. The Subject Acceleration Checklist has been adapted for NHCS and is attached below. For more information about acceleration and whether or not your child may be a candidate, please contact your school's gifted specialist or administrative team.
