Studies have shown that many students are happier with older students who share their interest than they are with children the same age.3 Therefore,
acceleration placement options such as early entrance to Kindergarten, grade skipping, or early exit should be considered for these students.
Additional programming
options include enrichment in the classroom, consultant - teacher programs, resource room / pullout classes, interest classes, community mentor programs, independent studies, special classes, special schools, magnet schools, summer programs,
acceleration, advanced
placement, early college entrance, online learning, and dual enrollment in college and high school (Karnes & Bean, 2001).
