Motivation often declines and students withdraw from tasks entirely. Acceleration can change the academic trajectory of learners who are behind. The mission of acceleration is success today on new learning targets. How?

The Promise of Acceleration is a professional development workbook - a planning guide - to develop a different type of instruction for academically vulnerable learners. Ignite the love of learning again with this thoughtful, dynamic instructional approach.
