Policies for Academic Acceleration

School districts are required by state law (Ohio Revised Code 3324.10) to implement either the state's model acceleration policy or an alternative research-based policy approved by the Department of Education and Workforce. For more information regarding acceleration please visit the Academic Acceleration for Advanced Learners page on the Department of Education and Workforce website.

Guidance for Acceleration

• District Resources for the Third Grade Reading Guarantee contains a variety of helpful guidance documents including Grade and Subject Acceleration and the Third Grade Reading Guarantee, a guidance document specific to grade and subject acceleration, found under the Other Information section.

Written Acceleration Plans

Districts must provide all students recommended for acceleration with a Written Acceleration Plan (WAP). The WAP describes the transition plan and supports for the successful implementation of an acceleration. After the successful completion of the transition period established in the WAP, an acceleration becomes a permanent placement. 

• Sample WAP: Whole-grade Acceleration
• Sample WAP: Subject Acceleration in Math
• Sample WAP: Early Graduation
