SUMMARY:Acceleration with the Experts
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPAGE is excited to welcome Dr. Ann Lupkowski-Shoplik. \nAcceleration is the best-researched option for academically talented students\, yet educators and families may be hesitant to use it. Forms of acceleration include grade-skipping\, subject acceleration\, AP courses\, honors courses\, dual enrollment\, and early entrance to college. Research indicates that accelerated students perform well academically in the short- and long-term; additionally\, they do well socially. Tools are available to help inform decisions about acceleration\, including the Iowa Acceleration Scale\, Integrated Acceleration System\, and above-level testing. Some states and school districts have well-developed acceleration policies that guide decision-making. Learn about the many resources available to support families seeking additional challenges for their students. \nAnn Lupkowski-Shoplik\, Ph.D. is Administrator\, Acceleration Institute and Research at the University of Iowa Belin-Blank Center. Previously\, she founded and directed the Carnegie Mellon Institute for Talented Elementary Students (C-MITES) at Carnegie Mellon University. She co-authored Developing Math Talent (2nd ed.)\, Developing Academic Acceleration Policies\, and the Iowa Acceleration Scale\, and co-edited A Nation Empowered: Evidence Trumps the Excuses Holding Back America’s Brightest Students. She is also a co-developer of the online Integrated Acceleration System\, which guides educators and families through the decision-making process about grade-skipping\, early entrance to kindergarten\, subject acceleration\, and early entrance to college. \nSessions are $35 for non-members and $20 for PAGE members \nClick the links below to learn more and register for individual sessions.  Make sure to visit your members-only page to access the $15 discount code! \nVisit T2T to see other upcoming sessions (registration is open for all events) \nRegister Now \n
