Nippersink School District 2 describes an ongoing Academically Accelerated Program (AAP) for grades 3–8 that relies on research-based practices, differentiated instruction, and alignment to Illinois Learning Standards, particularly in mathematics and advanced middle school core subjects. The handbook notes that appropriate accelerated education programs and curriculum require comprehensive review of instructional practices, collaborative planning time, and formal review/approval of all courses and units with building administration and accelerated teachers. This creates a continuing need for curriculum design, instructional materials, assessment tools, and professional development that support accelerated math in grades 3–5 and advanced courses in ELA, math, science, and social studies in grades 6–8. A vendor could help the district refine and extend curricula, provide acceleration-friendly resources (e.g., problem- or project-based learning), and offer training on frameworks such as Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, flipped mastery, and integrated/parallel curriculum models as the program evolves year to year.

AAP currently focuses on math acceleration in grades 3–5 and advanced core classes at Nippersink Mid...
