Possible AAP changes at ES

[Anonymous]

I’m the parent from the other Shrevewood thread asking for information on the future of AAP at Shrevewood. I haven’t read through this thread but was looking for info on what this meant for AAP kids at Shrevewood. Is it true they’ll get mixed with General Ed kids? I am in favor of this but just want to confirm if the rumblings I am hearing are true. Can someone confirm?

Copying over what I pasted on your other thread, contact the school, they've talked to a ton of parents about this already and will schedule a time to speak with you. AAP kids have nothing to worry about, people with average to below average kids are the ones that should be worried that their kids are going to be lumped into a "below average/ESOL speakers" class together.

There is going to be another info session in May. The principal, AP, and AART are all available for anyone who has any questions. Everyone seems really excited about it - for the same reason as you stated. In addition, I don't know about other grades, but the third grade LLIV class is very small and it's really unfair to the other students to have to have extra large classes while that one is so small.

Hope your AAP kid isn't as lazy as you are. Read the thread. It has all the info you need.

My question is why can't they do what they've always done and add kids to that ONE class? Why do they have to make two advanced classes? Or will Level III students be dispersed in all four classes? If that's the case, then I think the Level III parents have something to sweat.

I would guess that the LLIV class is small that they will try this model. I have no clue how big Shreveport is.

Our school has 8-9 kids selected for LIV services, that is about 10% of the second graders. If half of those kids go to the Center and the other half stay in LLIV you have a class of 4 or 5 kids, so you need to pull another 11-12 kids to get to the minimum size class of 16. We have 4 classes. If all of the kids stay for LLIV, then you need to pull 6-7 kids for LLIV. And then you have the same classmates for 4 years.

Centers tend to have multiple LIV classes so the kids can be mixed up, although not all Centers have this.

And it makes parents of Gen Ed kids happy because now everyone gets LIV content and their kids are no longer excluded!

Except that it is likely to end up that the LLIV kids are not going to get much of the Teachers time and no one is going to get LIV content because the kids who are below grade level cannot access it and they are the one that the Teachers spend most of their time with.

I really would schedule a meeting - the principal is super responsive and will call you to talk through your concerns.

One of the critiques I’ve heard about LLIV is that the kids in these insular 18 person classes are not ready for the jump to middle school and have a really tough time. A lot of LLIV programs are loving to cluster grouping because they get this feedback from middle schools.

My child is in AAP so I wouldn't know what to ask other than how are you going to make this work for the Level III kiddos who aren't placed the AAP classrooms and since that's not me it would be pushy

I don't know why this is so hard for you, PP. Asking a question is not being pushy. Get help.

Shrevewood parents - how is this going? Are you happy with your child's placement?

It's fine. The LLIV kids were definitely split into 2 classes per grade and the rest of the gen ed students were mixed within them and the remaining other classes. What surprised me though, is that it doesn't seem to be the case that the Level III or other stronger students were necessarily those chosen to be mixed into the 2 AAP LLIV classes. Seems like a huge mix of kids across all of the various classes.

Congrats, your kid is back in gen ed. Don't expect they'll progress like the AAP classes at the center.

The mix has been disappointing. Our level III kid wasn’t placed in one of those AAP classrooms when we had been told they’d have a strong likelihood. From what we hear, many ESOL kids got placed in and AAP parents are upset. This school continues to disappoint.

Wow. Could you be any more racist? You sound awful. There has only been one week of school, there is nothing to be upset about yet.
