[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The work samples submitted by the school were not good. However, some of the project work has been quite good. But the projects are not 'worksheets'. Given the 3rd grade genEd program offers no particular opportunity or worksheets that allow gifted demonstration, I would have taken the projects and represented that on one sheet. For example, my kid did an amazing book on a historical figure. Pages could have easily been shrunk with 4 pages to represent some gifted thinking about social injustice. I take it that the school doesn't have the time to do that. But shouldn't the school provide work that enables kids to demonstrate giftedness? The work is too simple to get work samples.

Any help to understand what schools submit as good examples would be appreciated. I did see the examples in the Level IV orientation. My kid never gets anything close to that. There is no opportunity to show abstract thinking.[/quote]

Teacher here. What samples were included? The AART is very specific on what types of samples to include. [/quote]
