Accelerated Learning
As we continue to learn more about the requirements of House Bill 1416 and providing Accelerated Learning, Region 7 ESC's mission is to continue to provide our districts with updated information and resources to assist in implementing effective systems.
Key Changes in Requirements for HB 1416
House Bill 1416 updated accelerated instruction requirements from House Bill 4545 by:
- Removing the requirement for Accelerated Learning Committees while requiring an Accelerated Education Plan after a student fails to achieve approaches or higher on two consecutive assessments in the same subject area
- Limiting tutoring to 2 subjects and no longer including optional assessment administrations
- Increasing student-to-tutor ratio from 3:1 to 4:1 ratio for tutoring group size
- Reducing minimum hour requirement from 30 to 15 for some students*
- Providing student-to-teacher ratio waivers for use of approved online curriculum (approvals available spring 2024)
