[quote=Anonymous]PPs have shared the reading and math enrichment that is available- but don’t confuse this with GT.  In MCPS there is not a GT or gifted program, just a gifted designation, there are magnet programs or enriched courses.  Many kids with the gifted designation are not in the magnet programs or advanced courses, and not all kids in the magnets or advanced classes have the gifted designation.  They are different.

For the gt identification they look at a combination or reading and math scores, plus a teacher and parent survey.  This happens for everyone in second grade and a lot of kids get “rescreened” in 3rd and 5th.  For the CES (4th and 5th grade magnet) they only look at reading, writing and social studies.  the past few years they looked at the grades from the 2nd marking period and the winter map r.

Compacted math or math 4/5 is not part of the CES. To decide who is in the class it sounds like they use map-m, grades, and the benchmark assessments (parents don’t see these unless they request it).[/quote]
