[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here: Thank you for the insides. we could get an accommodation due to the dyslexia. It is frustrating for her because she wants to be challenged.

Does anyone know of a policy that would not allow the child to only do part of the APP program?[/quote]

I don’t know about any official policies and this was a while ago (the student is now a college junior) but my older child had a friend who was in AAP and, due to some arrangement, did NOT take advanced math starting in ES.  I do know that the student had an IEP that played a role. So moving a student out of AAP for a single subject has been done in FCPS before.  [/quote]

Yes. Math. Because there is an Advanced Math option so there are kids from Gen Ed that might join an LIV class for math and some of the AAP kids leave for Gen Ed math. The subjects are held at the same time in specific classrooms so that kids can change classrooms for the subject.

This normally doesn't happen with Social Studies or Science or LA. Social Studies and Science are not necessarily taught every day and Teachers vary those subjects based on what needs to be covered in the classroom. Grade Teams will coordinate what material they are covering over a period of time and maybe some of the materials that are being used but they don't use the same lesson plans and they don't necessarily teach on the same specific time table, more a "In this quarter we will discuss erosion in science and the Romans in Social Studies."  Moving a child in and out of a class for just science and math means tight coordination between two Teachers.

Kids who are not selected for LIV services or who defer level IV services and are strong in math take Advanced Math. It might be held in the LIV classroom or be taught to a sub set of kids in Gen Ed during the math block. This is what my son had in grades 3-4 at his base school that did not have a LLIV program. In 5th grade, the Advanced Math kids ended up in one class together for the first time.

Kids who are not selected for LIV services or who deferred level IV services and are deemed to need a challenge but not strong enough for Advanced Math are placed in LIII. It tends to be a pull out that meets once a week for an hour and includes a lot of the LIV extensions. So the Socratic conversation, Cesare's English that type of thing.

There is no Advanced LA or Advanced Science or Advanced Social Science. Coordinating moving between those might be challenging. I am sure it is something that can be asked about but I think the advice that they look for accommodations for the dyslexia and aim for LIV is probably more doable. [/quote]
