Compare acceleration and enrichment as educational strategies for gifted and talented children, and provide an example of each approach.
What will be an ideal response?
- Acceleration allows gifted students to move through their academic progress at their own pace. The material to be mastered is the same as that for other students, but the gifted student can acquire the knowledge at whatever rate (usually faster) they deem appropriate. An example might be a 13-year-old taking college courses.
- Enrichment keeps gifted and talented students at their age-appropriate grade level, but provides special programs and activities to offer greater depth to the curriculum. An example might be a 6th grader who designs and conducts her own experiment during an instructional period when her classmates are simply memorizing research-related terms.
