Research on Programs for Gifted Students

From the University of Iowa, U. S. schools are still shortchanging gifted kids, experts say -- ScienceDaily
This two-volume report is designed to "empower" parents, educators, administrators, and policy-makers with evidence and tools to implement 20 types of acceleration, which include early entrance to school, grade-skipping, moving ahead in one subject area, or Advanced Placement courses.

And just as important, A Nation Empowered aims to keep the conversation about acceleration going....
But it's not actually available quite yet; I follow links to Acceleration Institute
Coming Spring 2015
with a lot of other links, mostly having to do with the previous version of report that they're updating. Still, that's interesting too.
