Accelerated Learning for All: Planning for the Next 3 to 5 Years
Use this resource to plan your strategy to accelerate every student back to grade level over the next 3-5 years.
Every child deserves a chance to engage with meaningful, grade-level work each day. Use this resource to implement accelerated learning and bring every student back to grade level over the next 3-5 years. Students who learn on grade level are better prepared for life after high school—whether that means college, a career, or another path. But how do we help children who have fallen behind? Let’s explore.
Lengthy remediation—covering large chunks of missed material—often falls short. Instead, accelerated learning provides just-in-time, targeted support so students can tackle grade-level tasks right away. In particular, accelerated learning has proven especially powerful for students of color and those from low-income backgrounds.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through steps to make accelerated learning a reality in your school, district, or system over the next three to five years. True, lasting change starts with listening to every voice—students, families, and the community. We’ll talk about setting a shared vision, defining clear goals and timelines, and taking an honest look at current practices to forge the best path forward for all.
