What is the Evidence that Acceleration Works?

Belin-Blank Center @ the University of Iowa:

The international educational community needs a comprehensive collection of articles on research and policy in acceleration. To fulfill IRPA's mission to serve as that clearinghouse, we will use this Web site to organize, reflect on, and make available research on acceleration.

As a starting point, we make available the 11 articles that form the research core of Nation Deceived, provide links to National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) studies on acceleration options for high school students, and list titles of books, handbooks, and book chapters that touch on some aspect of acceleration.

This site is in its infancy. As it matures, it will encompass extant research as well as new work from IRPA and researchers dedicated to providing answers about acceleration.
