[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:08  here.  I have to disagreed again - every child in the school does not get a GBRS.  The full name of that form is the Gifted Behavior Rating Scale.  [b]Why would every child be assessed using this form when it is specifically designed to identify gifted children?[/b][/quote]

Because it is a requirement by the state and is part of the FCPS Local Plan for the Gifted.  "Gifted" services include Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 and all students receive (at a minimum) Level 1 services.

"In order to increase access and expand the opportunity to participate in advanced academic 
classes to a broad range of advanced learners, Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers 
a continuum of advanced academic services available to all students beginning in 
kindergarten and continuing through twelfth grade. This K- 12 continuum is offered across 
four levels of increasing challenge and is designed to emphasize the importance of 
matching services to student needs with flexible entry points."

"[b]Beginning in kindergarten[/b], the Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART) places student 
data into a database  (Attachment E).  This database includes ability test scores (if available), 
achievement test scores (if available), [b]and a score on the gifted behaviors rating scale[/b].  The 
database is used by a local screening committee to decide which students need school-based 
services (Levels II or III) and in which academic area(s)."[/quote]
