Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research with gifted children has shown that acceleration (skipping grades or courses) and enrichment (providing more challenging material and experiences within the same grade level) can have positive effects on their academic and social-emotional development. However, this does not mean that only gifted children would benefit from these programs. Many other children who are not necessarily gifted but show talent or advanced abilities in certain areas could also benefit from acceleration and enrichment. Therefore, providing these options to a wider range of students could help meet the needs of a more diverse population. The effectiveness of current methods of identifying gifted children for special programs is still a matter of debate and ongoing research.
