Accelerated learning programs have increased dramatically and gained widespread attention in adult higher education. They have also received criticism regarding their value and potential impact on the quality of learning in colleges and universities. This volume of New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education is the first major publication that addresses the current practice and research of accelerated learning formats in higher education. The contributors to this volume explore the scope and substance of accelerated learning as it is practiced in colleges and universities. Practitioner guidelines and insights are offered for best practices in program and course design, learning strategies, and assessment approaches, as well as the integration of distance learning and service-learning into accelerated learning programs. To aid in examining broader questions of impact and outcome, several chapters discuss research from a variety of contexts, with both descriptive and comparative findings. This volume also provides a critical perspective and future consideration of strategies and roles for accelerated learning as a positive force in higher education. It will aid both practitioners and researchers by providing informative ideas and practices from leaders and educators who have administered, taught, and studied this innovative learning format. This is the 97th volume of New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, a quarterly report published by Jossey-Bass.

We live in an era when the unprecedented speed of change means: The only certainty is uncertainty; you can't predict what skills will be useful in ten years time; in most professions knowledge is doubling every two or three years; and no job is forever--so being employable means being flexible and retraining regularly. Accelerated Learning into the 21st Century contains a simple but proven plan that delivers the one key skill that every working person, every parent and student must master, and every teacher should teach: it's learning how to learn. The theory of eight multiple intelligences (linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist) developed by Howard Gardner at Harvard University provides a foundation for the six-step MASTER-Mind system to facilitate learning (an acronym for Mind, Acquire, Search, Trigger, Exhibit, and Review), and is enhanced by the latest findings on the value of emotion and memory on the process of learning. Combined with motivational stories of success applying these principles, and putting forth a clear vision of how the United States can dramatically improve the education system to remain competitive in the next century, Accelerated Learning into the 21st Century is a dynamic tool for self-improvement by individuals as diverse as schoolchildren and corporate executives.

Isn't acceleration just for gifted kids? This is a common assumption when we think about who benefits from efforts to accelerate student learning. For generations, students identified as gifted have been separated from other students and provided enriched learning opportunities many adults believe would be wasted on other students. More recently, in response to failed efforts to remediate low-achieving students, the term has been extended to efforts to reverse the negative effects of grade retention for many low-achieving students. The most promising application of the term involves efforts to extend the curriculum and instruction usually reserved for gifted students to all students.Accelerating the Learning of All Students: Cultivating Culture Change in Schools, Classrooms, and Individuals explores the multiple applications of the term "acceleration" and the assumptions that shape schools, classrooms, and individuals that encourage and discourage efforts to accelerate the learning of all students. This book begins with an exploration of the multiple definitions of acceleration, examining the social and historical context that led to an emphasis on labeling and sorting students. Descriptions of exemplary programs geared to each group of students provide useful ideas for addressing special needs of students. These descriptions also illustrate the wisdom of providing a rich, challenging learning experience to all students rather than focussing on separating them for special instruction. The book proceeds to explore the conditions in schools and classrooms that facilitate or hinder efforts to accelerate learning of all students. Focusing on the importance of changing individuals' assumptions about students, adult roles in schools, acceptable educational practices, appropriate communication patterns and the value of change, the book ends with a challenge to all of us to assume responsibility for making schools a better place for all students. Written by authors who bring a wealth of experiences to this topic, Christine Finnan and Julie D. Swanson draw on their own research and experience and on current research to provide a much-needed exploration of issues surrounding efforts to effectively educate all students. Accelerating the Learning of All Students provides hope to all citizens and educators that the dismal history of educating low-income students can be turned around, and that all students can be provided the rich, engaging educational experience that has historically been reserved only for those identified as gifted.

Accelerated learning is an advanced learning approach that is used in many organizations today including learning institutions and corporate entities. It is research based and includes a variety of media and techniques. As opposed to the traditional laidback learning approaches where the student assumes a passive role and the trainer actively pushes knowledge his way, accelerated learning is more flexible and open ensuring that every learner is totally involved. It brings in energy and re-humanizes the learning process making it more enjoyable and productive. Accelerated learning methods vary greatly with respect to the structure of the organization, the subject matter in question and the learners. In the words of Jacques Barzun, teaching is not application of a system but rather an exercise in perpetual discretion. The main aim of a learning process is not the method used but rather the results that it gives. Accelerated learning scores highly in this regard. Hundreds of organizations all over the world have embraced accelerated learning and the number of those that are joining in is rising by day. This is because people have discovered that accelerated learning uses proven techniques that enable them to design programs faster, improve measurable learning and enhance the productivity and creativity of employees. In order to be successful in accelerated learning, you need both a skeptical approach and an open mind. Healthy skepticism will enable you to rethink your assumptions to learning and at the same time enable you to maintain a balanced head even as you crunch the dazzling techniques and methods in the accelerated learning process. Openness on the other hand will help you to appreciate that learning is a continual process and no one has seen it all. New possibilities are always knocking at your door and it is up to you to respond with an open mind. Openness will help you to appreciate that nothing is dormant but rather continually evolving. At times, you have to depart from your organizational culture and the way you do things so that you can experience the joy that comes with new approaches. Therefore, having skepticism and openness will help you in distinguishing between the real and the artificial in the learning environment. This will in turn open up better ways of optimizing learning and enjoying even greater success in your tasks. The high metabolism culture that we live in requires that we update our learning approaches so as to meet the demands and challenges of life. The kinds of updates that we need to make are more of systemic rather than cosmetic. We need to move from the mechanistic way of thinking that the conventional learning methods have taught us all through right from the early days of industrial economy. In the learning environment today, standardization, one-size-fits-all and behavioral-conditioning are principles that no longer produce the desired results. These principles were only effective in preparing people for repetitive and dreary tasks. The kind of learning that will produce tangible results is to focus on creating knowledgeable workers and students who have the ability to absorb and adjust to new information. Accelerated learning ignites people's minds and enhances their psychological powers for thinking, innovating, problem solving and learning. As you go through the chapters of this book, you will appreciate gradually that all of us are in a learning era which is characterized by genuine collaboration, total learning involvement, diversity and variety in learning methods and internal motivation. The survivor and health of organizations and individuals today depends on their ability to learn.

There is a rabbit warren of resources, tools and rewards available through opting in to an online process and ways of interacting with other readers and learners through social media.Contributing Authors: Natalie Cunningham, John Gatherer, Darryn van den Berg"e;In many ways this book reminded me of Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline, which similarly inspired me a few years back. This book is very detailed, and discusses new approaches, techniques ... and methods to achieve liberating yet learning-centred breakthrough results at individual, team and organisational level. Chief Human Resource Officers as well as their peers, and Chief Learning Officers and their associated practitioners, will all benefit from not just reading this very compelling text but studying and applying all its valuable lessons in their quest both to accelerate learning and achieve tangible results."e;~ Johan Ludike, Head of Talent Management, Yum University, Yum Brands Africa"e;Congratulations to Debbie and Kerryn, who have captured the essence of accelerated learning, a process which, particularly in a dynamic markets context, is so important to change the status quo, where so many people have potential for greatness but have often lacked opportunities and mentorship."e;~ Shaun Rozyn, Executive Director: Corporate Education, Gordon Institute of Business Science "e;What an amazing read - it is truly a book that keeps on giving! It stimulates thinking about accelerated learning and is full of modern and practical content, presented in an easily accessible and understandable manner. The gamification throughout the book places the reader in the milieu of an active learner through the experience of reading the book and accelerating one's own learning."e; ~ Liza Govender, Executive Manager: Talent, Transnet"e;Both Kerryn and Debbie bring their valuable practical lessons learnt, their passion for this subject, and their deep expertise in this field to us in a practical and useful manner. I have had the [good] fortune of working in organisations and in consulting for organisations in this field for over 20 years, and I wish I had had this book 20 years ago already!"e;~ Lou-Anne Lubbe, previous MD, People & Organisation Talent, Accenture South Africa

Speed in acquiring the knowledge and skills to perform tasks is crucial. Yet, it still ordinarily takes many years to achieve high proficiency in countless jobs and professions, in government, business, industry, and throughout the private sector. There would be great advantages if regimens of training could be established that could accelerate the achievement of high levels of proficiency. This book discusses the construct of ‘accelerated learning.’ It includes a review of the research literature on learning acquisition and retention, focus on establishing what works, and why. This includes several demonstrations of accelerated learning, with specific ideas, plans and roadmaps for doing so. The impetus for the book was a tasking from the Defense Science and Technology Advisory Group, which is the top level Science and Technology policy-making panel in the Department of Defense. However, the book uses both military and non-military exemplar case studies. It is likely that methods for acceleration will leverage technologies and capabilities including virtual training, cross-training, training across strategic and tactical levels, and training for resilience and adaptivity. This volume provides a wealth of information and guidance for those interested in the concept or phenomenon of "accelerating learning"— in education, training, psychology, academia in general, government, military, or industry.
