When you appeal, make sure you do every possible parent write-up (if you didn't do the questionnaire before, do it). Provide [i]specific[/i] stories that illustrate every HOPE criteria where your child got a "sometimes." Make sure to paint a detailed picture of your child. In addition, grab [url=https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/forms/AAPGiftedBehaviorRatingScale_0.pdf]the old GBRS[/url], and while using stories about the HOPE criteria also think of the way GBRS talks about kids as giving you a list of keywords to hit on.

Add work samples that show complex academic-type work. I've used things like:

* a several word dictionary for a language my kid was developing (the county shows an example of hieroglyphics developed by a kid, which is a similar idea)
* [url=https://www.pta.org/home/programs/reflections]Reflections Art Contest[/url] literature entries with the artist's statement
* [url=https://nrich.maths.org/frontpage]NRICH math problems[/url] solved by my kid
* a math board game my kid made up (this kid was board game obsessed)
* an imaginary society my kid came up with while playing (this kid did this regularly, so it was pretty natural - I just photographed it and had her explain it)

Our AART also said the [b]kid[/b] should write an explanation of their work samples, in the first person.
