My kid made it in!


So the lottery is solely based on MAP R? What about MAP M?


It’s a language arts focused center. Compacted math is completely separate. I believe grades play a role too, but it’s mostly MAP-R


So there is another round of lottery based on MAP M? But they still go to the same magnet school? I’m confused


No, math placement is determined by the current year math teacher's recommendation for next year, same as everyone else.


So magnet elementary school program admission is solely based on MAP R? I’m not asking about compact math at local school.


Compacted math at the CES is handled the same way as compacted math at the local school. The CES is about reading, writing, vocabulary, social studies, and some science.


They say that, but at CCES at least, all CES students are in compacted math, and it moves at a faster pace than in the regular program so they are able to do enrichment on top of the regular curriculum.

Don’t know about other CES programs.


Then why isn’t MAP M used at all as a criterion?


I thought the teachers used the MAP-M score to recommend the kid for compact math? Am I wrong?


Yes but I’m talking about magnet school admission

Can folks take the compacted math topic to a different thread if you want to discuss math enrichment? This thread is about literacy enrichment and the CES's which are literacy enrichment programs, they have nothing to do with math.

(I mean, obviously many kids who are gifted on the literacy side of things are also strong in math so a disproportionate number of CES kids will have high math scores and qualify for compacted math, but that doesn't change the fact that the central review process and CES lottery is focused on literacy enrichment and has nothing to do with math.)

This will likely depend on what the home school is planning to do for literacy enrichment and whether they continue to offer the ELC or not. What are folks hearing from your schools about that?


This is the new ELC model. Still a separate class for high achievers, but with CKLA and moves faster than "regular" classes to cover more content. Actually seems much better with old ELC curriculum.


Are they actually competing the kids together? When I asked my school they said that there would be a weekly pull-out during the Flex Time for novel studies but not that it would be a separate class. That is mostly why I’m leaning towards accepting the CES spot over staying at the local school. The cohort is so important


That's the other model for enrichment that is not ELC. (There are two models.) If there are enough kids to form a class, then next year at least, they should be offered the new ELC (which is based on CKLA but moves faster -- similar to how 4/5 and 5/6 math move faster).


So does the '"new ELC" include 5th grade CKLA content for 4th graders, or what is the extra content? Do they add on novels or creative writing?


Is there anywhere we can look at the curriculum for the new enriched/accelerated version of CKLA so we can see what's added? Was something sent out to the schools on this?
