MAP test

[Anonymous]

My kids consistently get 99th or 98th percentile scores on MAP tests. This is not bragging. We are lucky, but we have our challenges too. How can we ask for resources from MCPS? My older one was bored until we found a solution for him with a cost. My younger one is the same. He enjoyed recess most. All the school sources I’m aware of are to help those who are behind. What can we ask to meet my kid’s needs? I need him to enjoy school, have good study habits, and not take things for granted just because they are easy now. We don’t do extracurricular study outside of school. He is in the upper grade.

No you can’t. You stuck it up. Also search this forum because this question gets asled every week.

There's plenty of challenge available in MS and HS. Bored in ES is normal for smart kids in all forms of education, public and private. At a minimum you can get permission for them to read when they have finished their work. But if they are not already superior writers, they should be challenged to just do more and better work in that area.

AEI provides recommemdations, but central doesn't force schools to adhere to them on a regular basis. Experiences with enrichment unfortunately vary more based on school, both from administrative preference and from cohort manageability, than based on individual student need.

The AEI office can facilitate a discussion between the school and a parent and help come up with a plan for enrichment.

Agree with this. Every ES school also has a GT Liaison that might be able to assist even if the student is not identified as gifted. It’s also perfectly fine to discuss the concern with your students teacher.

AEI office in Central Office is tiny.

What are they actually going to do? Nothing.

Compacted and ELC are the most you can get from MCPS. However, you can provide enrichment outside of school. Figure out your child’s interests and develop them. And your child might be bored in school (that’s okay and normal), but you can develop their love of learning outside of school.
