The district where I teach has recently moved to an accelerated model. This happened due to budget cuts which resulted in the elimination of gifted teachers. Students identified as gifted learners were receiving daily pull out instruction using resources specifically created for gifted learners. These students now are clustered together in their homeroom and are all receiving instruction in language arts and math one grade higher than their actual grade. They no longer receive pull out instruction.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with an accelerated model like this?
