[quote=Anonymous]Level III services and Advanced Math services are evaluated annually for all kids in ES. Level III is more reading, writing, social studies, critical thinking skills and deep dives. Kids are added and removed through out the year at my kids school. Some kids leave because they don’t like the extra work. It is an hour pull out once a week, or it is supposed to be but it seems to vary from school to school. Kids have to make up the material they missed in their regular class. For some kids that means extra homework and they are not thrilled by that. They also read novels to themselves in class, something they don’t do in their regular class, and there are higher expectations for their writing and participation.

Advanced Math is normally determined on an annual basis using test scores, in class performance, and a skills test at the beginning of the year. It feels to me that there is more movement in and out of the group in grades 3 and 4. In grade 5 they skip to grade 6 math so it is harder to remove a kid in grade 6. Kids were added to my sons Advanced Math class but not removed in grade 6.

LIV services are the ones that you submit test scores for and has the option to move to the Center or participate in the base schools Local program. The Local program might be its own class or using a cluster method. [/quote]
