Iowa Acceleration Scale  

Definition

  • In the mid-1990s, Susan Assouline, Nicholas Colangelo, and Ann Lupkowski-Shoplik combined their professional expertise to develop a tool to guide educators and parents through the decision-making process for whole-grade acceleration. Assouline drew on her background as a regular classroom teacher and school psychologist, Colangelo called on his experiences as a regular classroom teacher and school counselor, and Lupkowski-Shoplik relied on her expertise in early childhood development and giftedness.
