Curriculum acceleration entails working on the programme’s contents more rapidly, which enables the teaching of these contents to be tailored to the students’ precociousness. Acceleration enables students to access curriculum that has been specifically designed for an older age range within the official programme. The most common interventions are flexible grouping and flexibilization.
Grouping stands out among ordinary educational interventions regarding acceleration. This is a collection of organizational strategies that enables the establishment of permanent or temporary groups based on the interests and talents of its gifted students through an enhanced, varied, and customized curriculum. It increases drive and performance but impairs social contact with other children. Flexibilization implies a reduction of the academic year duration, so the gifted student can accomplish more academic years in less time.
