This article discusses various forms of accelerated learning, identifying 26 unique types as identified by a study (Rogers, 2018). It highlights options like accelerated/honors high school classes, Advanced Placement courses, and mentorship programs. However, it notes that not all forms are viable for rural Alaska due to logistical and resource constraints. The article suggests exploring middle-ground options like single-subject acceleration and home schooling for rural Alaskan school districts.
