Module Overview
Data Points and the Integrated Acceleration System
The Integrated Acceleration System is a tool for schools and families to use as they work to determine if acceleration is an appropriate intervention for the student. The process of completing the Integrated Acceleration System will help you determine if acceleration is an appropriate intervention for the learner. Gathering objective data and assembling a child study team including family members, teachers, and administrators will provide information essential to making a sound decision.
