SSA Testing for the 2022-2023 School Year Information:
Single Subject Acceleration Information 2022
Single Subject Acceleration (SSA) is the practice of placing a student in a higher-grade level in one subject area. This type of acceleration is for the purpose of providing access to appropriately challenging learning opportunities in either math or English Language Arts. Students must test to show mastery of the content that they will skip. It would be best to submit a request for testing after attending one of the parent meetings.
Is your child a good candidate for Single Subject Acceleration?
- Consider your child’s social and emotional maturity.
- Your child may be taking classes with peers who may be older.
- Consider your child’s organizational skills and ability to focus.
- Can your child begin or complete assignments and projects by themselves?
- Your child will be skipping an entire year’s worth of content and background knowledge.
- The AIG teacher and homeroom teachers are not responsible for covering any content your child skipped as a result of receiving SSA services.
- If your child qualifies for SSA in math or ELA in elementary or middle school, some courses take place online during the school day and your child must work independently.
- SSA may result in a different class schedule. To accommodate your child's academic needs, the school may assign your child a different schedule than classmates including lunch, recess, specials, etc. The final decision about scheduling will be made by the principal at each school.
