Single Subject Acceleration WebsiteSingle Subject Acceleration (SSA) is the practice of assigning a student to a higher-grade level than is typical, given the student's age, for the purpose of providing access to appropriately challenging learning opportunities. SSA is an accelerative practice that allows students to show mastery of the content of a course without having taken the course.
What is the process for Single Subject Acceleration? Parents can nominate his/her child to skip a grade level of content in either Language Arts OR Mathematics during the nomination window at the end of the school year. How do I nominate my child? Nomination forms will be available from your child’s school or through the online site listed below during the specified nomination windows. Parents may nominate students for this accelerative practice ONLY within our school’s specified nomination window. Only students who are enrolled and attending WCPSS schools during the Nomination and Testing Windows will be eligible to participate in the in SSA during the 2020-2021 school year. Schools will offer differentiation as needed for students entering WCPSS after the SSA deadlines. |
