Illinois Association for Gifted Children
Implementing Acceleration Placement Program Toolkit Administrators Academy #1926
The focus of this academy is for principals and assistant principals to understand the requirements of the Accelerated Placement Act (Public Act 100-0421, which took effect July 1, 2018) and the Accelerated Placement Policy of their district. Participants will work from a model policy in the event their district is in need of developing and/or amending their current Accelerated Placement policy. Participants will understand the definitions of multiple types of acceleration, develop and determine the method of annual notification of the acceleration program, develop a referral process for their building, learn how to implement an evaluation process that is fair, equitable and involves multiple individuals with multiple valid and reliable assessment indicators, develop a process and timeline to communicate the decision along with a transition support plan for the student. Participants will leave the academy with access to supporting acceleration research in addition to documents that will support them to implement various types of acceleration within their own building.
IMPORTANT: Participants should bring a copy of the current district policy for Acceleration Placement, Early Entrance to Kindergarten, Early Entrance to First Grade if they exist.
