[quote=Anonymous]SIPPI (GT identification) happens in 2nd, repeats in 3rd, to pick up some not identified in 2nd, 5th (ditto) and 8th, I think (vould be 7th). Once identified, you don't lose the designation. MD requires an identification process, but doesn't specify criteria. MCPS posts criteria they use in their FAQ. Schools are supposed to provide enriched education to meet GT need, per MD law and MCPS policy. It's not meaningless, but it can be made so if a particular school or teacher doesn't employ available enrichments well, and this varies widely in the county, with little, if any, oversight by MCPS, which provides the enrichment framework (might need to bolster that). This is separate from qualification/selection for the criteria-based magnet programs (CES or magnet middles). Those have far too few seats to meet the need. GT enrichment is supposed to be available at any school in the system.[/quote]
