[quote=Anonymous]If you rad the AAP information on the FCPS website, it says that the GBRS is determined by a committee. I've discussed this with FCPS AAP people. They said the committee structure varies by school. It does not have to include the teacher -- which our school's committee does not. It is possible that no one on the committee will know your child (as happened with my DC). In our school the AART said she discusses the children with all of their teachers (all grades and subjects) and asks for specific examples to write on the GBRS form. I thought it was incredibly unfair, but no I'm not so sure. This way, if one teacher doesn't like your child, that teacher can't tank them if others say the child is gifted. Also, by second grade, they change teachers on some subjects (at least at our school) and that takes into account that the child might really shine in one particular area.[/quote]
