\n<\/a>Out of the University of Iowa, the Acceleration Institute studies acceleration in academically advanced children. They perform research and publish the excellent resources A Nation Deceived and A Nation Empowered. These guides are must-haves if you want to learn more about the advantages of acceleration for highly asynchronous learners. The books summarize over 50 years of research and also provide insightful case studies. Share these with schools and educators unconvinced of the value of acceleration for highly advanced students.<\/p>\n\n

It details the conflict between socialization (the normative process of accommodating the group) and social development (developing one\u2019s authentic self) that occurs for age-atypical learners. I consider this a must-read article.<\/p>\n
