of the study is to evaluate how the release of A Nation Deceived
three years ago has influenced attitudes, practices, and policies
about academic acceleration.

If you have already completed this survey, we thank you for your
time and your consideration.

If you have not yet completed this survey, we ask that you take a
few minutes to do so now. We value your opinions and evaluation
