Answer to Question 2

Acceleration allows gifted and talented students to move through the curriculum at a more rapid pace. An example would be allowing a fourth grader to be moved to fifth-grade math. Enrichment provides opportunities to explore topics in more depth, such as involving students in projects and learning center activities.
