Differentiate between acceleration and enrichment programs for gifted students.
What will be an ideal response?
An acceleration program involves moving a child through the curriculum as quickly as possible (e.g., skipping grades). An enrichment program provides children with opportunities for learning that are not present in the curriculum. There is no consensus about which program is better. Accelerated programs suffer from the potential to disadvantage the gifted students by placing them in classes where they are physically smaller and socioemotionally different from their peers.
