[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would hope so. Qualitative insights trump quantitative any day. [/b] [/quote] Are you kidding? No, the opinion of a second grade teacher who has minimal to zero training in identifying giftedness and has only known a student for 2-4 months in a class of 25-30, does not trump quantitative data.[/quote] The AART at our school is integral in filling out the packet, not just the 2nd grade teacher. And I think the 1st grade teacher is involved too. Some of these people have years of experience. As usual, another thing that's school-by-school about FCPS. I've heard in some schools some teachers get a reputation for placing kids into level IV.[/quote] The AART who has met the student maybe twice and only in a group setting? Even if she has 20 years of experience, she is not going to be able to magically identify all advanced kids with just one or two encapsulation or plus minus equals worksheets. [/quote] They are pretty careful to put into level II any kids who they think might be referred or be in pool. Then she pulls them out pretty regularly throughout second grade and does the worksheets that become the work samples. So she knows them better than what you described. Our school has always followed what FCPS used to say about level II - that it's a "talent development pool" for level IV.[/quote] Is this a joke? My child is level 2, it’s on her report card and I got the letter about it, but she does not get pull outs with the AART. She just gets extra math worksheets and maybe one extra math group each week. She doesn’t know who the AART is.[/quote]
