[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sort of, OP. AAP is the closest equivalent to a G&T program, but in name only. The selection criteria is too loose to identify gifted children. At best, it identifies strong academic achievers and places them in an accelerated setting. Truly gifted children are not well served by AAP, but it is all FCPS can offer.[/quote] Not true. if it identifies strong academic achievers, they would go by report card. Kids take sort of IQ test. Th[b]ey try to identify kids with well above average IQ, around top 15%[/b]. [/quote] Is the CogAt an IQ test? I heard it wasn't.[/quote] Well it is certainly not an academic achievement. Academic achievement = report card. If county has money/resource, they would trust and use WISC. 'Truly gifted' probably means 'profoundly gifted' kids in general with IQ of higher than mid 140. Nope FCPS doesn't have program for that. [/quote]
