[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa. Just saw this because I am an employee. There will be a NNAT in December. I wonder how this will change the screening pool.[/quote] The NNAT from 1st will be used unless they do not have that on file. [/quote]Doubt that they will just use the NNAT it is the least of the criteria for placement. I've heard from a few teachers that they are changing the system for admissions into AAP. I can see them postponing placement for 1 year.

lol. So all the third grade AAP teachers next year who have spent time training and developing their materials for years will suddenly revert back to the normal curriculum and totally redevelop their materials for a gen ed audience? Sure, sure that's what will happen. Keep dreaming.[/quote]

Not to mention the center schools will have an empty 3rd grade classroom. I guess the third grade center teachers will just collect unemployment for a year[/quote]They already do this year anyways. We are at a center school( mentioned a lot) and it typically have seven 3rd grade classes. This year there are five classes total. 3 General 2 AAP. And teachers have switched from AAP to General in this school from year to year. Teachers all spend years perfecting their career-it doesn't matter whether they are AAP or general. There is not that much difference in the programs especially in 3rd. 5th grade math is a combo of 5th and 6th grade where kids take the 6th grade sol and 6th grade is the big year when they take 7th grade math.
